Ist in der Datei WPINC.INC evtl. WPSPELL definiert.

Wenn ja, dann muss dies auch installiert sein. Es ist Teil von WPTools Premium. Falls separat erworben gibt es ein separates setup zum download dafür.

Hi, wPDF V5 PLUS with units for Delphi 12 has been posted on 17.11.

Thanks for reporting this.

I have posted the 2 files here

https://www.wpcubed.com/ftp2/WPBMPICONRGBA24.zip

WPTools 7 came out 8.5.2013 and was updated until 21.2.2017 - pretty long.

The question is in which which file format do you want to save your document. The extra data is only saved to WPT.

Extra is only created on demand only by the method MakeExtra which takes an initialization string. Since Extra is a string list, it can store several poperties.

For just a string I would recommend to use the property Params.

In WPTools 7 You cannot use OnTextObjGetTextEx to show information for the hyperlinks easily.

That is something which works in the latest 9.3 - it will show extra information AFTER the actual link. (In WPTools 9.3 there are some nice improvements for such use case since it is used actively in a powerful documentation tool which needs to show dynamic hyperlink data.)

procedure TFrameOutlines.wpt_outlineTextObjGetTextEx(RefCanvas: TCanvas;
  TXTObject: TWPTextObj; var PrintString: WideString; var WidthInPix,
  HeightInPix: Integer; var PaintObject: TWPTextObj; Xres, YRes: Integer);
var eo : TWPTextObj;  s : string;
begin
   if TXTObject.ObjType=wpobjHyperlink then
   begin
     if wpobjIsOpening in TXTObject.Mode then
          PrintString := '['
     else if wpobjIsClosing in TXTObject.Mode then
     begin
          eo := TXTObject.StartTag;
          if eo<>nil then
          begin
            s := eo.ExtraProp['extraprop'];
            if s<>'' then s := #32 + #$2282 + s ;
            PrintString := #$2192 + eo.Source + s + ']'
          end
          else PrintString :=  ']';
     end;
   end;
end;

Assumed this would be as simple as setting PrintString to the text I wanted, but that doesn't seem to be the case. If I wanted, for example, to change the displayed text to "Hello", how would I go about that?

The text displayed by a hyperlink is not the hyperlink object, it is the text between [a] .. [/a] - so if you wantr to store a different text there you need to change that text. Itz is just regular text, just like in HTML.

Zitat

Next problem I faced was how to get the text object under the mouse in the mouse move event. Thought CodeObjectAtXY would get it, but it only fires when you are on the far right of the object and the far left of it (including from the edge of the object to the far left margin). GetObjectFromXY does the same.

Yes, this is because the hyperlink objects are actually not visible. You see only the embedded text. Thats just like bookmarks and merge fields.

CodeObjectAtXY will not work because of this, but you can get the position under the cursor and check for open objext at that position.

This is what CodeInsideOf does:

function CodeInsideOf(X, Y: Integer; objtype: TWPTextObjType)

: TWPTextObj; overload;

Can you send me the text as a document, preferably as *.WPT file?

I tried to create one my myself, please see my e-mail.

Based on that sample I created a function for you to remove the lines. You call it like this:

RemoveEmptyLines( WPRichText1.FirstPar );

WPRichText1.ReformatAll(false, true);

Please see the code in my e-mail.

Well, WPTools 7 is way outdated and I recommend to get the new version 9.3.

How do you define "fields"? Since you look for '<' these do not appear to be merge fields.

If it were merge fields you can use CodeGetList to get all merge fields, detect of the obj.EmbeddedText is empty and call DeleteParagraph for the parent paragraph of the respected fields.

The code above assumes that the text is in a string list. It is insetad in an XML like structure of paragraphs. With WPTools it is best, and one of the huge advantage of WPTools underlying technology, that you can loop through all the paragraphs and manipulate text and attributes on basis of the reference to a TParagraph object.

WPViewPDF 5.2.1.0.0 release 8.9.2023

- fixes a problem with incremental PDF files. They now should load correctly.

* enhanced CCITT FAX Handling incl. Masks

* better support for 4 bit images

Hallo,

Mit dem stamping feature kann man mit WPViewPDF PLUS Seitennummern auf existierende PDFs aufbringen.

Wenn man mit wPDF arbeitet, dann muss man als Programmierer hier ein wenig selber machen:

1) Alle seiten in einer Liste von Metafiles speichern

2) wPDF.BegindDoc

3) Alle Seiten aus dem Speicher ausgeben und dann zusätzlich die Seitenzahl noch darüber zeichnen

4) wPDF.EndDoc

The new version is able to repair some broken PDF files. It is so able

to load many PDF files which were not loaded by previous versions of WPViewPDF.

X = 0 - no PDF repair

X bit 1 - initial PDF repair if XREF is not found

X bit 2 - PDF repair if XREF was found but some reference values are wrong, i.e. if pages stay empty

Default: 1 - only initial repair is active since mode 2 can find data which would be otherwise hidden.

The new version is now online. It increases the compression factor.

Ok, I put this on the list

I am not in my office right now. Interesting answer of chatgpt :-)

The (legacy) A DLL uses a different version of zlib - the W DLL is supposed to use the latest version which could have an influence on the size of the compressed data.

As usual you can send samples to support@wptools.de

Hi, I checked the compression. I cannot find any problems.

The increase in size most have to do with another change, i.e., higher bit depth. Did you also update from a different compiler.

You can change the setting of the property StreamCompression to deflate or FastFlate.

Which Delphi do you use? Is the wPDF Standard or "Plus"?

The wPDF VCL has these properties which affect the size of the PDF - recommended in bold style

property CompressStreamMethod: TWPCompressStreamMethod

wpCompressNone, wpCompressFlate, wpCompressRunlength, wpCompressFastFlate

property JPEGQuality: TWPJPEGQuality

wpNoJPEG, wpJPEG_10, wpJPEG_25, wpJPEG_50, wpJPEG_75, wpJPEG_100

property FontMode: TWPPDFFontMode

pUseTrueTypeFonts, wpEmbedTrueTypeFonts, wpEmbedSymbolTrueTypeFonts, wpUseBase14Type1Fonts, wpEmbedSubsetTrueType_Charsets, wpEmbedSubsetTrueType_UsedChar

,wpEmbedType3 // Build Type3 Subset Fonts

,wpEmbedCIDFonts // Shortcut for CID Mode, change everyhing in Fontmode !

The equivalent for TextCompression is CompressStreamMethod.

Both should be no problem. wPDF and WPViewPDF include the complete source code for the interface part so you can update to newer compilers easily.

Thanks, I see that the diamonds are moved a few % up. I'll check out how this can be improved in next version.

Do you export your texts with WPTools?

WPViewPDF cannot check the validity of the signature - but it can display many types of annotations.

What problem do you have while displaying the document? It can be something unrelated to the signature, i.e. the index structure was damaged.

Der Fehler ist leider noch aus Version 4 - konnte man nicht mehr ändern ohne böse Konsequenzen beim laden von Formularen.
