Print Preview of MiniPrint of HMG discussed many times; AFAIK it's in whish list of Roberto.

Anyway I have tried your offer and :

Date:09/22/12 Time: 14:26:56
Error TOleAuto/-1 : TOLEAUTO:NEW

Called from THROW(22)
Called from TOLEAUTO:NEW(110)
Called from CREATEOBJECT(117)
Called from REPORT1(88)
Called from (b)MAIN(24)
Called from _DOCONTROLEVENTPROCEDURE(5275)
Called from EVENTS(1390)
Called from _DOMESSAGELOOP(0)
Called from _ACTIVATEWINDOW(4934)
Called from DOMETHOD(7374)
Called from MAIN(35)

Moreover using some .exes and / or .dlls come unknown source (especially commercial ones) isn't secure I think.

Anyway thanks to your contribution

Dear esgici,

Both .Dll are provided, program will register at runtime
Error shows you must register dll with regsvr32 command and uregister when not require
I have tested at my end

IMHO the best print preview is a pdf printer driver.
There are lots of then in the net.

Hi Angel,

If you might have code to produce pdf directly from hmg, please share.

I've installed PDFCreator (freeware) and I'm printing to PDF selecting PDEFCreator as printer. It works perfectly, so it's waste of time to write individual export procedures, IMHO.

This call is not only to Angel, but everyone who has this possibility

As far as I follow there are some problems in contributed code, HaruPdf and others.

Will be very appreciated if our friend(s) will share such experience with us

Hi Mol,

Sending a document to printer and direct to PDFCreator is another thing. In this case we have to point to consider :

1: Does PDFCreator can run "quiet" mode, that is without requiring intervention of end user ?
2: How we have preparing "document", In .doc / .rtf format or anything else ?

My considering in "using PDF for reporting" is building .pdf by our won code

In this case too we have "how to prepare" question. Bu I hope after analyzing some example we will achieve this.

Thank in advance

Regards

Marek, you are correct, PDFCreator is best option

Could you share a little example for preparing a report to send PDFCreator ?

Hi,
in the hmg cousin, oohg exist a code to print in pdf.
The class is TPrint, maybe adapting this code to hmg. The file is h_print.prg.
