Printing 2 pages on 1 piece of paper, possible ?

[Stef]

Is it possible to print 2 pages on 1 piece of paper.

Older printers all have such a feature, but the newer (cheap) printers cann't do this anymore.

In programs like OpenOffice or Word this is no problem, because these programs have such a feature build in.

Is this possible in RVE ?

thanks,

You can print in any rectangular area on page using TRVReportHelper component.
You can use the 2 columns printing demo as a prototype:
Demos\Delphi\Assorted\Printing\ReportHelper\

thanks Sergey,

I'll compare the method ti printing to pdf-printer,
having the advantage of a printpreview (and a lot less work

cheers,

Print preview is also possible using this method.
Create a hidden TRichView with empty document (add one empty text string to it, otherwise TRVPrint will not print it). Create TRVPrint for printing this empty document. Create TRVPrintPreview displaying preview of this empty document. Draw the actual document in OnPagePrepaint event of this TRVPrint.

But I cannot get this to work. Is there a working example?

Thanks
