Hello to all
I need to "draw" a pre-printed invoice ( the invoice is on a tif file),
then info must be passed on it based on a database fields, and finally 3
copies of the invoice must be printed.
Is it possible to do this?
Any help would be appreciated
TIA
Dionisis

Dionisis,
if I am not wrong the TPicture component supports TIF files so maybe you
could try something like:
oTIF := TPicture():Create( "file.tif" )
In your printing routine:
oPrinter:oCanvas:DrawPicture( { 0, 0, oTIF:nWidth, oTIF:nHeight }, oTIF )
And then print the fields where you need them with
oPrinter:oCanvas:TextOut( ... )

Many Thanks Josi
As usual 100% CORRECT, now the positions calculations remain only.

I am trying the same thing with a .jpg form. I can draw it, but it always
prints at about 1/4 the size I want it to print. I've played with :lScalable
and :nHeight and :nWidth, but it doesn't seem to matter what values I assign
to those properties -- the output is the same. If I print the .jpg file
itself, it prints over the whole page.
What am I missing?
TIA,
Gary

After additional experimentation, I found that when the coordinates for the
DrawPicture() method is mmHIENGLISH, the measurements are not in 10ths of an
inch as the documentation says. For my picture of a form to be printed
correctly on an 8.5" x 11" page, the coordinates of 136,210,5354,6970 seem
to most accurately reproduce the form. Also, TPicture:nZoomH and
TPicture:nZoomV are not recognized as valid properties, resulting in a
runtime error if used.

It?s very easy using FastReports, I've put a Scanned Emf over the page
(fiscal form) and visually filled the fields over the page.
Finally I tells FastReport to not print the Emf on printer only at
Screen Preview.
Very easy and really fast.
Regards.

Gary,
Could you try to use mmHIMETRICS and see if it works that way? TIA.
Please send us a small sample that reproduces your error.
