A2000ReportToPDF

[Doug]

I am using the A2000ReportToPDF utility available on Steven Lebans web site.
Great functionality but I recently tried to output some reports using a
custom font and can not seem to get the fonts to embed in the pdf file. I
have set the PDFNoFontEmbedding parameter to 1 and to 0 with no change in
results. The fonts are embedable as I can create the pdf of the report
using a pdf printer and they are there.

I would appreciate suggestions on how to get the fonts to embed in the
output file.

Thanks in advance.

Doug

Looks like I screwed up that property when I created a custom version of the
ReportToPDF solution for a NG poster during the last update.

It's on my list of things to fix with the new release coming soon(after
March break vacation).

Thank you for the update. I'll keep watching for the update on your site.
Am I correct in assuming that if the variable is set to 0 fonts will be
embeded (when the module is fixed)?

Any chance to get hold on the version prior to this "screwed up version"?

Hello Stephan,

Any idea when the updated ReportToPDF might be available?

Thanks

Doug

Snapshot format is superior

I dont think that anyone should use PDF, the AcroBat Reader is a bloated
piece of crap

I mean seriously-- how often does it need to prompt me for updates?

Snapshot Viewer doesn't get slower and slower every time you use it

Any idea when you could steal the time from something and fix this?

It is fixed. I'm sure I posted to the public NG"S. THere is a bug in the VB
code module that declares the function. Let me have a look........here you
go:

At the top of your modReportTOPDF module is the function signature:


Public Declare Function ConvertUncompressedSnapshot Lib "StrStorage.dll" _
(ByVal UnCompressedSnapShotName As String, _ ByVal OutputPDFname As String,
_ Optional ByVal CompressionLevel As Long = 0, _ Optional ByVal
PasswordOwner As String = "", _ Optional ByVal PasswordOpen As String = "",
_ Optional ByVal PasswordRestrictions As Long = 0, _ Optional
PDFNoFontEmbedding As Long = 0 _


) As Boolean


The very last line of the Sig is missing the ByVal declaration:


Optional PDFNoFontEmbedding As Long = 0 _


Should be changed to:


Optional ByVal PDFNoFontEmbedding As Long = 0 _
