$O 817 - How to print an Rtf File/Text...

Wed Aug 28 07:19:11 EDT 2019

Hi Massimo,

I have tried your library in Omnis 10 and can duplicate your issue.

I was able to get your test document to print if I select its path in the custom properties of the RTF Viewer in your report so that might be an option for you.

I will check it against my application when I get into the office a little later today.

Hi Michael,

thank you for the answer, but still do not works… I’ve made a simple library for testing, if you want you can download from the link below and test on O$ 817, it print a blank page. I haven’t test from older version of Omnis… Into the folder there is a simple RTF file for testing...
What I am doing of wrong???

Thank you,
Massimo.

Really only making the proper object visible for the type of text I am printing.  Seems to work ok.  But there is a issues with certain fonts and the alignment with the Omnis RTF component in 4.3.2.1.

I have inserted the Rtf Component in the record section of a simple report for testing, but it still not working. Omnis hang (Mac version, I haven’t tested the Windows version yet...) when I set programmatically the $filename property and I have a white page when I use a Text Field in $dataname...
