FWIW FOP from Apache's XML project group does a pretty good job of
generating PDF. It would of course have to run strictly on the server.
I appreciate all your advice on Print bugs, I thought I was just
experiencing noobie pains. I guess I'll just settle on displaying an
HTML page and let them
Hi Paul,
FlexReport is not on the right track, as well as Adobe's approach to
printing.
Problem starts right here:

Person who wrote this manual didn't know the fact that Flash Player
has a 2-pass renderer and this a key
Dimitri:
No problem, I am happy to use another approach. Does anyone have a
HTML to RTF conversion component?
How about something that will take the HTML generated by the
RichTextEditor, and cook it into something that is accepted by MS
Word? or will render it into something printable?
BTW,
Paul,
On my http://www.spacecityaug.com Flex blog app, I have a Print/PDF
button that takes the Flex RichText and produces the downloaded
reports. I used Adobe ColdFusion to dyamically produce the reports in
Word, Excel, and PDF. Flex and CF tag team. The same ColdFusion
components on the server

Thanks for taking the time to post about the CF solution, I will give
it a try, converting either to AS3, or VB.NET on the backend.
CF is not an option, for these apps. I do have an associate on staff
that does CF, but the approach I'm taking is using minimalist
middleware pieces in
No prob. No matter what middleware you use, unfortunately, you do need
to replace some of the RTE htmlText to convert it to html the
browser,email,or Word, etc. can use. That was my main point about
fixing your font issue.
Hope it helps.

Try doing the save to XML from Word and you might be able to use that as a
template to generate a word-friendly XML document (I use the term
loosely). It's ugly, but I've done this with XSLT a couple of years ago in
order to programatically create excel files...

I used the save to XML trick to create a component that will take
any grid and create a MS Excel 2003 compliant XML structure. It
worked pretty good.
However I would still need to convert the ratty HTML built by the
RichTextEditor component to XML.
I have a partial mule (half a**ed)
Hmm, I haven't messed with RTE much, but even if it's spitting out nasty
HTML, it's probably keeping an XHTML XML doc internally, which you could
clean up programatically in Flex or declaratively with XSLT. Besides that
general idea though I think I'm out of my depth in this subject :)
