WPCubed Product Support

Support for PDF/A buggy

support

Hi, thanks for your mail.

The wptools output is not clipped to the current page - the PDF mode adds tags to the PDF text which changes the PDF text a bit.

You are using this kind of clipping:
IntersectClipRect(metaCanv.handle, 300, 300, 600, 600);

instead of GDI+ clipping paths.

Recently I wanted to make some minor changes to an application that uses WPTools to generate reports.

Doing that I stumbled over a problem in WPDF.
It seems the PDF/A support of WPTools has a bug.
Clipping is not handled properly when using a metafile and GDI+
(It's not clipped at all)

  1. A WPRichText object is created and a metafile with clipping and a gdi + polyline inserted.
  2. PDFA is set as a print option
  3. -> clipping does not seem to be working. If I don't use pdfa it works!
  4. A standard GDI polyline works! (I suppose the GDI+ metafile is written in 2 versions, a gdi and a gdi+ compatible version).

Help!!!

I have created a small demo-application that shows the problem.
I've uploaded it here:

(btw: The URL-Link-function of the forum seems not to work. And why can't I attach anything here in the forum? Would be handy.)

I use WPTools 6 and the last wPDF version[/url]
