Export to PDF

dpetr · Post by **dpetr** » Mon Jan 16, 2006 1:19 pm

We are using the Tahoma font in our application. Trying to export a chart using the pdf format we get a pdf file that contains unreadble characters in all the place where the chart has greek literals.
We have changed the Graphics.DefFontData structure to Tahoma with GREEK_CHARSET (161). We have tried to change the TeeMsg_DefaultEngFontName variable to Tahoma (unit TeeEnglish) and the DEFAULT_CHARSE constant to 161 (unit TeCanvas) but nothing seems to correct the problem.

Please advise....

What tool are you using to create the PDF?

I am using the TPDFExportFormat class of the TeeChart suite. In fact I am not using it direct but I call the TeeSaveToPDFFile method in unit TeePDFCanvas.pas.

Hi dpetr,

Thanks for reporting that. I'll add this to our defect list to be fixed for future releases.

In the meantime, you could export the chart to an image and create the pdf file using some component which allows that.
