No RTF support in Delphi???

Postby rosenhauer » Mon Jul 23, 2012 6:40 pm

I've been using VPE 3.5 and am looking to upgrade to get PDF support. But i downloaded the enterprise demo all of the calls to WriteRTF and WriteBoxRTF are failing to compile. It appears that even though it's in the documentation it's not available in Delphi. Is this true?

This is not true. As from the first day on, the Professional Edition and higher do support RTF import and rendering. Please compile the sources of "vppdemo" that come with the installation of VPE. The demo shows RTF import and creates PDF files.

I didn't realize it wasn't available in all the versions. The programmers manual doesn't have any footnote like it does on other functions that are limited to specific versions.

The Programmer's Manual as well as both Reference Help files tag the RTF related chapters as "Professional Edition and above", indeed not each method / property . But you wrote that you are using the Enterprise Edition, so RTF support is there.

Anyway, is it now working for you?
