I do not know if there are other options. I asked Digital Metaphors, waiting for their answer.

Honestly, I do not think that it is possible to insert the content of ppRichView as a rich text. Maximum as a plain text.

Really?

I even tried with the RTFRenderer Classes ReportBuilder, but without success.

I really need it ... not with a workaround? hehehe


Thank you.

I received the answer. It seems that a solution is possible, but it is not trivial.
We will try to implement it, but it may take several days.
I'll post results here.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to export ppRichView as editable text (well, it is possible, but too complicated)
The only improvement that I can make is exporting as a metafile instead of a bitmap.

Exporting as a metafile is simple, but the result cannot be edited. Well, in MS Word you can convert a metafile to a MS Word picture, and it can be edited, but as a picture (each text line will be a separate object).
Exporting as a metafile is simple, we can do it for free.

Exporting as a editable document is much more complicated. We can use the TRichView's RTF export procedure to generate a code for RB document (it will be inserted in a floating text box inside RTF document, or in something like this). However, there are some problems. RTF file contains several global tables - colors, fonts, etc. So TRichView export must be modified to use RB classes for these tables instead of its own tables. It requires changes in TRichView code.
Unfortunately, this work is not in our plans for near future. But yes, we can do it as a custom work, with the following conditions:
- price $400
- time to implement: one week
- the result will be available for all TRichView users, not only for you.

CONDITIONS

Post by rafakwolf »

Ok, I need that, so I don't have other option but paying what you're asking.
I accept your conditions, but I also have some conditions, as following:
-The payment will be splitted in two.
-The first half I pay immediately.
-The other half I'll pay when the work is done, after I have tested and approved.

If you agree with those conditions, please, say how do you want to receive the payment? By Paypal?

Thanks for your help.
