Report Engine and PDF Library: Example code in Delphi (VCL)

The following example uses a VPE VCL Report Engine component named "Report". The VCL can also be used with C++ Builder.

The method Picture inserts an image, four coordinates are supplied: (left, top, right, bottom). The parameter "VFREE" instructs VPE to compute the given coordinate for a text or image itself.

With WriteDoc the document is written by the integrated PDF Library as PDF file, and finally the call to the method Preview shows the preview window.

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin

Report.OpenDoc;
Report.Print(1.5, 1, 'Hello World!');
Report.Picture(1.5, 2, VFREE, VFREE, 'example.jpg');
Report.WriteDoc('My Document.pdf');
Report.Preview;

end;
