TextQuality property is not working

[LukasT]

Hello,
back to "evergreen".... Export to PDF from WPFViewer is not presenting fonts with the same sizes.... see attached example. And settings of TextQuality property has no impact... If I use export to PDF by PDFCreator so output PDF document is correct...

Hello.

We have reproduces your issue.
We need some time for analyzing.

Thank you.

Ok.... It is not so critical due to users can use PDFCreator, but it would be fine to have it working correctly.... Thank you

I have posted this issue several times, but never got a proper solution.

Setting the TextQuality to Typographic usually looks a bit better. But that property is not available in the WPF designer, so you can only edit the mrt's XML.

I also had some bad results with "allow html" and saving to pdf in the past.

You can set this option:
StiOptions.Wpf.ShowAllPropertiesInWpf = true;
(Open OptionsHelper.exe, set this property value and save Options.xml to the same folder where is DesignerWpf.exe...)
... then you will see TextQuality property in Designer on each text object....

Hello.

There are two static options:

Code: Select all

StiOptions.Export.Pdf.UseWysiwygRender = false;
StiOptions.Export.Pdf.WpfHighAccuracyWordWrap = true;

The second one is shown text more more precisely, but it works several time slower.

The TextQuality property changes text appearance of the text in WinForms Designer only, in WPF Designer all is rendered with WPF methods. To be more exact there is only one method.
Therefore the Text Quality property was removed from property grid. But reports are exported with one report engine, and you get different result.

Thank you.

So you mean these two options as final solution (it looks working correctly), or you will find another better (faster) solution?
