Hi Josep, This is a very strange issue - one that I can't seem to simulate on my iMac running MacOSX 10.4 Tiger. I can try it again on my MacBook Pro running MacOSX 10.6 SNow Leopard later this evening. Here's what I did: - I opened LiveCode 4.6.3, then the qrtReportsLib.rev stack, and then the Repo...

Hi Igal, It depends on what exactly you're trying to achieve. One method is to use a formatter helper function in your data broker, and use the 'htmlText' format on the data field.

Hi Rich, Thank you for reporting this problem. A quick look inside the generated PDF file reveals that 1.1.0 thinks the image's ColorSpace is DeviceGray, instead of Indexed. I think I have tracked it down to an error in the handler p_qrtPDF_LoadPNG. Line 3686: put byteToNum(it) into tColorSpace shou...

Here is a shortlist of other projects that you might want to investigate - some of them helped shape Quartam PDF Library for LiveCode: Java iText PHP FPDF TCPDF I will update this list as o...

If you want to start contributing, you should definitely read up on the Portable Document Format. It is quite a large specification, so don't expect to 'grok' it all at once. There's plenty of stuff that I haven't even researched :-) Interesting links: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.h...
