Printing 2 pages on 1 piece of paper, possible ?

Post by Stef »

Is it possible to print 2 pages on 1 piece of paper.

Older printers all have such a feature, but the newer (cheap) printers cann't do this anymore.

In programs like OpenOffice or Word this is no problem, because these programs have such a feature build in.

Is this possible in RVE ?

thanks,

You can print in any rectangular area on page using TRVReportHelper component.
You can use the 2 columns printing demo as a prototype:

thanks Sergey,

I'll compare the method ti printing to pdf-printer,
having the advantage of a printpreview (and a lot less work ;-)

Print preview is also possible using this method.
Create a hidden TRichView with empty document (add one empty text string to it, otherwise TRVPrint will not print it). Create TRVPrint for printing this empty document. Create TRVPrintPreview displaying preview of this empty document. Draw the actual document in OnPagePrepaint event of this TRVPrint.

Sergey,

This is what you wrote:

But I cannot get this to work. Is there a working example?

Thanks
