Render NDR to PDF .

QUESTION:

I have previously saved NDR files and I want to save them to PDF files. How would I do that?

SOLUTION:

The following code starts with having a TRvRenderPDF component on your form named RenderPDF.

Delphi:

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);

var

NDRStream: TMemoryStream;

begin

NDRStream := TMemoryStream.Create;

try

   NDRStream.LoadFromFile('test.ndr');

   RenderPDF.PrintRender(NDRStream, 'test.pdf');

finally

   NDRStream.Free;

end; { tryf }

ShowMessage('NDR Converted');

end;

C++Builder:

void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)

{

TMemoryStream* NDRStream;

NDRStream = new TMemoryStream;

try {

   NDRStream->LoadFromFile("test.ndr");

   RenderPDF->PrintRender(NDRStream, "test.pdf");

}// try

__finally {

   delete NDRStream;

}// __finally

ShowMessage("NDR Converted");

}
