wPDF Version 4.81 is now available for download for registered customers.
It includes support for Delphi 11 Alexandria.
It also enhances the stability in multithreaded use by improving the font subsetting.
If you have a TWPPreview connected to the TWPRichText just add
WPPreview1.WPRichText := nil
in OnClose.
I recommend to use the latest WPTools 9.2 since WPTools 7 is retired since 2017. It also compiles with Delphi 5, with some limitation in the UTF8 area,
The AV may be a double free of an object anywhere in the project. You can check by using FastMem.
If the destructor makes problems you can add code to the Form.OnClose to free components manually:
acomponent.Parent := nil;
acomponent.Free;
Then you hopefully get more information in the debugger.
I used to have separate packages and unfortunately nothing but problems with it.
You can open any existing Delphi 10.x package in Delphi 11 and save it under a new name to continue to use it with Delphi 11. This is useful, if you use custom made package which combine different component sets.
I have fixed the dpk file in the meantime.
WPTools 9.2.08 is now available for registered customers. It includes support Delphi 11 Alexandria.
Side note: The upgrade from WPTools 9.1 to 9.2 is cheaper than the previous V8 to V9 upgrade since it is meant to be a maintenance fee, something now common and required with similar products.
You can order the upgrade here:
wPDF V4.80 which includes support for Delphi 11 Alexandria is online now.
If you have the PLUS edition the DCU files are installed in the subfolder DXI_0\Win32 and DXI_0\Win64.
This version also fixes the problem that not all bullets of the WingDings 2 were exported when also PDFA mode was selected.
WPTools 9.2 is the current major version of WPTools.
I am working on an 9.2.x update for Delphi 11 which arrived during my vacation.
Wenn kein Text im Editor ist, dann lassen sich Absatz Eigenschaften nicht ändern.
Man müsste CheckHasBody aufrufen, dann ist aber ein einzelner, leere Absatz im Editor.
No, the wp-fmx license does not allow this. The license only allows the use within a larger project with connection to your company data. A general editor / word processor, RTF editor is not included in the wp-fmx license.
The hyperlink event is not intended for this use. This works fine on VCL but under FMX it is a completely different thing.
With FMX you always need to decouple user actions from output methods or showing a dialog box using a timer or a message handler. If you don't do this, you may miss screen updates.
My Experience is that on Apple uses prefer to use Apple software. I have a software product for MAC OS and there is not a lot of feedback.
According to use my demo please respect the license which comes with the component. For WPTools VCL this excludes the use on MacOS and with WP-FMX Standard "word processors" are explicitly excluded.
Man muss vor der Änderung wRichtEdit.Changing aufrufen.
Please check out unit wpiohtml to see how the html is written.
The bookmarks and hyperlinks are written in function TWPHTMLWriter.WriteObject
The Name is written as "name="
The Source is written as "Title"
An ID property is NOT written in current version. This can be a new feature in an upcoming version.
Did you try to set the source property of the hyperlink object to #something?
Yes, 9.2 does. WPTools includes an SVG interpreter which supports a subset of the SVG stanbard.
For some export formats, i.e. the data has to be converted into PNG though.
I just posted V4.79.1 to fix this issue.
