pcsoft.us.windevCopyright 2026, PC SOFT14 Sep 2016 15:05:00 Z14 Sep 2016 11:02:00 ZHi all, In my ERP I have a single document report (done with the report editor) that handles all the document types of several order systems. The documents can be printed to paper, with preview, or emailed with a cover message (after first printing directly to pdf). The cover message can be viewed and edited in a window and the pdf can be previewed there, too. Or I had it. I don't have it any more. After working all summer with the ERP in WD21 and almost getting the new version ready, I now tested also the emailing feature of this report, and to my great horror:(, it does not work any more! Printing to paper and previewing work perfectly, but when printed to pdf, either directly, or from the the preview, the output has large black squares and lines hiding most of the header and the footer, leaving only the row items properly visible. The pdf is unuseable, it cannot be sent. I had no problems like this in WD19, and I haven't done any changes to the report since "upgrading" to WD21. At least I don't remember having done any changes... I wonder if anybody else has experienced this with WD21? Any hints? Is this a new feature in WD21, or should I start searching for problems in my code? What could possibly cause a problem like this?
