Export formatted text as real text

Post by hugo »

Hello,

I have a report with formatted text (Allow html tabs = true), however, when I try to export to docx (also with other formats), Stimulsoft.Fx export the text as image. Should export as text (or optional as plain text if the format is your issue).

But if the user try to export as txt, the Stimulsoft.Fx don't exports anything and in this case should export as plain text. This is an important issue for my client that in the previous software (with CR) he could export this type of text to plain text, so he can latter work the text in word (legal reports that he really need to do this).

Hello,

Unfortunately, at this moment, the quality of the HTML text is not better than in a PDF, DOCX or other export formats, because the export of the HTML text is rendered as an image. This is done because in the .NET report engine the text in HTML splits into its component parts .DLL system library (tags, words, wordwrap, text size, considering all languages and fonts). It is very difficult to port this library into Flex.

Thank you.

Hello,

I understand that you need to export as image because with a complex formatted text.
For docx, pdf, etc... it's ok that is an image but the quality of the exported image is really, really bad.

But for txt, I think that you really try to export a plain text: just try to remove any most knows tags and replace any <br> with \r\n.
