DataEase 7.2 and PDF printing, HTML, DOC and Rich Text Export

One of the news in DataEase 7.0 was the possibility to “export” to PDF, Excel, HTML etc.

 

As so many other of the news in 7.0 it was neither properly thought through, nor properly implemented.

 

It is not a very well kept secret that the Print routines in DFW has never been very good, and a lot of “fixes” has been implemented over the years to try to amend this.

 

When we evaluated this part of the product in relation to 7.2 we decided that the entire implementation is “flawed” and decided not to try to change it in 7.2 but rather focus on the new implementation in DG3.

 

We do not recommend the use of the “built in” PDF, HTML and Excel export but rather the use of Third party products for these purposes.

You only need to install on of the products below and you will be able to print to PDF, HTML, DOC etc.

 

If you are only interested in exporting to PDF we recommend CutePDF which is a simple free PDF printer driver.

If you have more advanced needs and want to publish the result of reports on the web or save them as Word documents we recommend Print2eDoc which you will find at
