Thanks Bart, I figured out how to generate an HTML document from the rich edit cells, and put a <font .. > ... </font> around it to make the highlighting work. It takes up a lot of space, probably more than the PDF will take, but I am also able to open it with Word, and then save it as a *.doc file. That takes care of the basic issues, so I can drop the PDF since it seems much harder to work with.
I appreciate the suggestions, -Rich Sincerely, Rich Cooper EnglishLogicKernel.com Rich AT EnglishLogicKernel DOT com 9 4 9 \ 5 2 5 - 5 7 1 2 -----Original Message----- From: delphi-talk-boun...@elists.org [mailto:delphi-talk-boun...@elists.org] On Behalf Of Barton Bresnik Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2011 5:48 PM To: delphi-talk@elists.org Subject: Re: How to generate PDFs with tables... Rich, You might try a two-step process: 1. Copy tables and other text to a MS Word COM object. Word has many VBA methods to help do so. Perhaps Open Office or Libre Office offer similar options. 2. Print the Word document as PDF using a tool such as PDF Creator (but beware malware browser add-ins in the installation dialogs).

Now, with all the ads on Google, I can only find the ads, not the good stuff like that old tutorial I once found. I iterate through a table, with each cell presently represented in TRichEdits. There are several fonts used, including various colors of text, in the table I want to create as a PDF. Does anyone have a good link for tutorials on how to generate a PDF document with the text from a TRichEdit, and to create tables, like in Word, to hold the cells, each containing a TRichEdit text blob?
