Commented Unassigned: Prevent 'Initializing' message? [11059]

Beggars can't be choosers (and I'm a beggar grateful for what FoxyPreviewer can do), but I'm wondering if there's any way to prevent the 'Initializing...' message I see every time I run a REPORT FORM using FoxyPreviewer. At first I thought it was because I had the REPORT FORM call embedded within SET REPORTBEHAVIOR 90 and SET REPORTBEHAVIOR 80 (since my client just wants PDFs not the other capabilities), but even with those commented out the result is the same.

Note that the issue here is mainly the slight delay rather than having to look at the message. But it's not without importance that a user will tend to wonder (as I do) why the system has to initialize itself again and again.

I should mention that I have the load of the FoxyPreviewer APP in the main program of my system and nowhere else.

Thanks for your help.

Hi, friend.

Yes: you can prevente the 'Initializing' message.

Please see the nThermType, nThermFormWidth and lQuietMode properties.

And also maybe nShowToolBar, lOpenViewer, but I am not sure.

But I consider that the waiting will be boring... you shuold let see that message.... my opinion.

I am getting the above message when attempting to print. I am trapping the above error in a TRY-CATCH construct on my main program READ EVENTS. The message returned is:

Error Number: 1734
Error Message: Property AFRXPAGES is not found.
Line of code with error:
Line number of error: 2668
Procedure with Error: actionprintex
Error Details: AFRXPAGES

In the debugger I set a break on the above line:

lnOrientation = _goFP.oListener.aFrxPages(lnFrxIndex, 1) && Page Orientation _goFP.oLISTENER.nPrtorientation

And it gives undefined for the above value.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: HernanCano **

Hi, friend.

Your bug is strange. May be your (default) printer does not have different orientations... or so...

I can click on Print when I use PDFCreator or a real (laser or dot-matrix) printer.

Sorry....

Created Unassigned: Report Property: "Remove line if blank" is ignored [11101]

Thank you very much for working on this product.

I noticed a problem with some of our older reports, when saved to pdf with FoxyPreviewer there seems to be an empty line between content lines, not present on regular printing. I noticed that there is a field with the property: “Remove line if blank” between the lines, which would be my guess what causes the issue.

I have attached a smaller version of the report to reproduce the problem.
You have to add foxypreviewer.app to the folder and run _test.prg.
It will generate a pdf in the same folder.

Thanks in advance

Created Unassigned: Object type 10 formatting different than 11 [11122]

When printing the report to the printer, previewing or using object type 11 image PDF the report is visually perfect. When creating an object type 10 (searchable PDF not an image) the printed report is visually off, text columns to not line up with graphical columns. I think it has something to do with the fact that each record printed is a 1 field printed with a fixed courier font.

See the attached example.

Hi all,

Comments: ** Comment from web user: FoxInCloud **

Did some more research, line 7738 seems to be in FoxyInitForm.Init():
```
m.loHelper = CREATEOBJECT("PreviewHelper", .T.)
```
I think it fails on:
```
cPrinterName = SET("Printer",3)
```
I've checked on the server: opened a VFP IDE and executed `SET("Printer",3)` in the command window: observed a slight delay first time, no delay on subsequent calls.

After this I restarted the exe COM server: OK, no error

Maybe a COM server does not accept waiting until printer is ready.

Testing this workaround:
```
Sys(13) && 2016-10-12 thn -- {FiC V 2.22.0-beta.8} {en} added as workaround to error # 125 ('Printer is not ready') at line 7738 of foxyPreviewer.app - https://foxypreviewer.codeplex.com/workitem/10921

do foxyPreviewer.app
```

Will report whether it works
Cheers,

Sys(13) does not seem to fix the issue consistently;
sometimes work, sometimes does not.

opening a session on the server and viewing the printer's property seems to be a valid, though unpractical, workaround.

Hello, i'm new here, and my english is very basic, so i expect you excuse me.
Well, i'll try to explain what is my problem.

When generated a report, in the preview's form, can't see it complete. However, if convert it to PDF or print by the printer, it come out perfectly.
Whe you see in the preview, Fonts, look like too big.
I attach an image, where you can see what i'm saying, document's right side is out whit foxypreviewer, and with the original i can see the report OK.

Many thanks.

Hi all,

Im trying to generate some reports with FoxyPreviewer v299z30 with no preview so the user can choose previosly the output format or send it directly to the default printer.
This code run perfect when selecting pdf, html (it creates 3 files with 3 differents names each with its extensions) or printer but in case of word or excel it do strange things.

This is the code:

```
I've got foxypreview initialice on the main prg of my app this way:

```
SETREPORTBEHAVIOR 90

_Screen.oFoxyPreviewer. nDockType = 0
_Screen.oFoxyPreviewer.nThermType = 2

_Screen.oFoxyPreviewer.lShowSetup = .F.
_Screen.oFoxyPreviewer.lShowMiniatures = .F.
_Screen.oFoxyPreviewer.nWindowState = 2
*Fin Foxy
```


Explain each case in detail, suppose i want to print 3 reports:

Normal output should be (i.e, for word): 001-1.rtf 001-2.rtf 001-3.rtf

- If i check "Word" it creates the first file with its right filename, then it doesn't generates any more files. If i exit and entry again into the form it doesn't creates any. Only if i exit the app it generates again only the first file.

- In case of "Excel" it creates the first file but when creates the second first it delete the first one, when creates ther 3.erd the second is deleted. At end only the 3.rnd file remains.

In all cases the foxy progress bar show normally and no errors it's shown.

In its normal use it works perfect in all the app. You can save any report to any format previewing it first and choosing the "save as" format. This is the first time i try to save it directly with no preview.

Any idea is welcome.

Thanks very much.

Solved by using the "Complete Mode":

instead of:

```
m.ccadena = "REPORT FORM lli_chk OBJECT TYPE " + cdestino + " TO FILE 'c:\gam\" + m_lch.codi_vhi + '-' + LTRIM(STR(RECNO('m_lch'))) + cext + "'"
&cCadena
```


now i do:

```
loReport = CREATEOBJECT("PreviewHelper")
WITH loReport as ReportHelper
.AddReport("lli_chk.frx", "NODIALOG")
.cDestFile = "c:\gam\" + m_lch.codi_vhi + '-' + LTRIM(STR(RECNO('m_lch'))) + cext
.RunReport()
ENDWITH
loReport = NULL


```
On the SCAN ALL

And at the beggining:

```
SET PROCEDURE TO LOCFILE("FoxyPreviewer.App") ADDITIVE
LOCAL loReport as "PreviewHelper" OF "FoxyPreviewer.App"

\viewkind4\uc1\pard\fs18 This is only a example text
\par }

FoxyPreviewer print the memofield like the example without formating the text.
Can FoxyPreviewer print Memo fields with RTF Format?
How can Foxypriever print Memo fields with RTF Format?

Foxypriever can print Memo fields with HTML Format!
Is there thuch a rtf to html converter to recommended?

Is there thuch a HTML Control which save text in HTML format in a Memo Field to recommended?

Created Unassigned: FoxyPreviewer PDF with unreadable GR chrs [11143]

Hello Cesar,

If you have some time, please take a look at a very serious problem when saving a report to pdf with greek chrs (CP1253) (and may be for other langs)...

Just copy-paste somewhere the attached folder "ErrorPdfGR.zip" and run the project, from inside vfp.
Follow the orders at the "wait window" commands... It is self documented...

I used the last ver of foxypreviewer "v2.99z35 RC 2016.06.11" with lPdfReplaceFonts=.T. (in order to force it to use the internal "basic14" fonts of the libhpdf.dll, for code pages other than 1252, see the "correctionreplacefonts.txt") and .cLanguage="GREEK".

See the attached file:"PDFwithreplaceFonts.jpg".

__ALL the Greek chrs (CP1253) looks OK, but almost unreadable (one chr is over the other)!!!__
A very serious problem for the very common Arial and Times fonts.
The Tahoma fonts are OK, but without inclination.
For Courier fonts almost no Greek chrs.

In preview window the foxypreviewer displays everything OK! See the "FoxypreviwerOK.jpg" file.

Trying with lPdfReplaceFonts=.F. and lPDFEmbendFonts=.T., then 3 Greek letters disappeared! The 4th capital letter 'Δ' (DELTA), last capital letter 'Ω' (OMEGA) and the 12th small letter 'µ' (ME).
See the attached file:"PDFwithEmbedwithoutreplaceFonts.jpg".
A very serious problem for Courier and the very common Arial and Times fonts.
From Tahoma bold fonts the last capital letter 'Ω' (OMEGA) is missing also and again without inclination.

It is a must for me to embed the fonts into pdf, in order to be readable the GR chrs from tablets and Android phones...

If I use a 3rd party "pdf printer" everything are OK!

I tried for many days, to find out the origin of the problem, digging into pdflistener class, but no luck...
Is it an internal problem of the libhpdf.dll?
Is it a calling problem to the libhpdf.dll functions?

The best solution (for my opinion) it would be to find a way, to enlange the space between the greek chrs into pdf, using the basic14 fonts into dll...
But I do not know how to do it!...

I will appreciate any idea, from where to start, trying to fix the problem.

Also I noticed that the last ver of libharu is 2.3.0, but the foxypreviewer uses the very old ver 2.0.8.0!!
I downloaded the ver 2.3.0 but I have no way to compile it, in order to create the new libhpdf.dll.

Have fun,
Nick Porfyris
