As written, use Cell.DeleteParagraphEnd to move the loaded text up one line.

Do you paste from outside of the program or inside.

You can activate clipboard debugging to see whats actually inserted. See unit wpctrmemo.pas

WPTools formats the text only in idle phases. This uses messages. If a message is missing formatting does not take place and the editor could look empty.

To get more information I would hide a button somewhere which saves the current content to a file - so you can see if the editor is really empty.

Also useful is code which calls ReformatAll directly or the function CheckHasBody which makes sure a document is selected for view. (WPTools separates display from text storages).

Hi,

if you use the flag wploadpar_AsChildrenPar the loaded text will be in the children, not the cell itself. This is why you see an empty paragraph.

You can use a
Cell.DeleteParagraphEnd to move the loaded text up one line.

Julian

Thats by design - if you Press Ctrl it should be selectable though.

All the mentioned controls are based on standard windows classes, WPTools is not. I assume the program sends certain messages to the control to update the text. You can trace the KeyDown event and others in WPCtrMemo.pas to find more about this.

The textobject belogs to a paragraph can may not be created like this.

as I said:

You will have to add a new and positioned image inside the MailMerge event and leave "Contents" unchanged. You can do most operations with the TWPRichText inside the event, since the contents of the field are selected when OnMailMergeGetText is beeing called.

While the program is inside the event handler you can insert an image into the text using the usual (cursor) methods and NOT use Contents.

Hi,

I would add the compile symbol WPDebug to the project options, do a BuildAll and stop with the IDE when it freezes.

Yes, thanks, is the correct link.

With WPViewPDF PLUS Version 4 it is possible to load PDF and convert selected or all PDF into a watermarks for other PDF files. The PDF to Watermark feature preserves the original PDF data of the watermark PDF file, this is important to keep the PDF size small and the quality at the best.

Hi,

I can only try to reproduce this with an example PDF. Some PDFs cannot be converted to text very well, this has a lot to do with how the text was added and if proper ToUnicode tables are there.

Julian

That was also fixed.

This is how I get annotations to actually be in the saved PDF if new annotations have been added to the PDF.
If I remove the line I get no NEW annotations saved in the PDF but the old ones remain.
This seems to be opposite of what your last reply implies.

Usually annotations loaded from PDF are not touched. They will not automatically be converted into movable objects.

If the PDF file is saved, it is possible to remove all annotations (and other items) by using the COMPDF_SetSaveMode command with several flags.

If, and only if, the annotations are converted into objects they can be moved, changed and deleted. New annotations can be added.

This is done in PDFEdit.exe (and the example projects)

// Make sure the annotations work interactively!
newTab.wpviewpdf.Command(COMPDF_ACRO_MAKEDRAWOBJ,'',0); // 0=all Annots!

The modifications will only be saved after
wpViewPDF1.Command(COMPDF_Ann_SetAnnotSaveMode, 1);

Hi, If you do a programmatic change of the text, such as mailmerge, any you need to print or PDF export right away it is required to call ReformatAll.

Reason: WPTools format the text when in idle phase, if there are none, ReformatAll must be called. If the text is visible on screen, ReformatAll is not required.

Hi,

to remove all formattings from an RTF text there is a very fast function
function WPToolsRTFToANSI(const inputstring: AnsiString; Codepage : Integer = 1252; maxlength : Integer = 0): AnsiString;

That is globally defined, not part of TWPRichText.

You can also use
WPRichText.AsString := rtftext

ansitext := WPRichText.AsANSIString('ANSI') which will work a lot slower than the above method.

Sorry, no - that system is fixed.

You cannot use the TWPCombos for this since it only lists the colors which are used by the text already. There are color drop down component availoable on the market.

You can use any color in the text but you need to add it to the RTF text to use it.

This is done by the function
WPRichText.GetColorNr(aColor: TColor): Integer;

The result value it the color index which can then be used.

Found in WPCtrMemo.pas - WPTools 7:

{:: Load the text from a string. Insert at current position. This is slower than using InputString and InputText }
function LoadFromString(const X: AnsiString; FormatString: string = '';
WithClear: Boolean = FALSE): Boolean;

>> Additionally: How do I retrieve the resulting RTF (=the base RTF string containing encodings)?

I would use the function AsANSIString which also uses a formatstring to sepcify the format, such as "RTF-nobinary".

Please use ANSIString and not unicode strings since RTF is a single byte char based format (originally ASCII!)

Julian

Hi,

RTFVariables are not automatically used and exported into the PDF. That would cause privacy issues in many cases.

I recommend to set the wPDF.Info strings prior to export with the values you need to export.
