In that case you need a RTF parser, and then interpret that into fcl-pdf
API calls.
The tiOPF project (on SourceForge) has a RTF based reporting engine. It
processes a template RTF file which contains tokens, and then produces a
fully populate RTF report file as output. We also used to use OpenOffice
(in read-only mode) to preview the generated report output - which
actually worked very well. OpenOffice in read-only mode hides all
editing functionality from the user interface, so it looked like a true
"print preview" dialog. Anyway, the tiRtfReport.pas unit in tiOPF might
have some code you could use to translate a RTF file into fcl-pdf API calls.
Hi Graeme, I use LibreOffice in headless mode to generate PDFs
on-the-fly. My workflow is handled by a CGI who calls a Python script
(needed for the UNO API) who loads a Libreoffice template with the
header and footer, then it inserts the RTF and lastly output the PDF to
STDOUT.
So, I don't really need a fully featured reporting engine, but just a
way to "insert" an RTF file inside a PDF.
What I've been looking at is this
https://sourceforge.net/p/lazarus-ccr/svn/HEAD/tree/components/rtfview/rtfview.pas,
I think it shouln't be too difficult to replace its dependencies to
TRichView and make it work with fcl-pdf.
