I am searching for a Printing Engine with most of the following features for Delphi 2006 Win32 Personality.
- Support for adding pages
- Built in Preview window with support for finding text in the preview window
- Support for adding Text at any location on the page canvas
- Should be able to render planin RTF text files (generated in WordPad or RichText control that comes with Delphi) directly
- Should have support for adding tables in which one can merge cells horizontally as well as vertically, split table across pages, header row to repeat if table is split across pages, etc.
- Multi column on a page where in we can have half page in more than one column and other half in one column
- Styles(***) so that we can define styles and assign those styles to text and thus the text gets formatted as per that style
- Should handle pagination automatically as contents is added
- Should be able to flow text around inserted graphics (this I doubt will be possible)
- Basic drawing commands like Lines, Circles, oblongs, Squares and Rectangles, etc.
- Can render 1 or more dimension array as table
- Save the preview content as either RTF or PDF or WMF or EMF or Plain Text
- Facility to insert complete paragraph (bulk text) and format the line spacing as that found in MS Word (single/1.5/double)
- Property for adding space before as well as after paragraph
- Finally should support all those features that are provided by the printer driver like duplexing, etc. etc.
Does a VCL satisfying most (if not all) of these features exist?
Regards,
Yogi Yang
