Hello guys!

I hit another problem. Ultimate++ is awesome, but as a newbie I guess I need some time to find out how everything works, especially in case of a problem. Now I hit another such problem and hope for help.

If this is the wrong section of the forum or I missed to add some important information, please tell me!
Sorry for the huuuge width of this post - I included my code as is.

I am running version 5739 on a Debian system (compiler is gcc), using the nightly package from the repository. The application I develop is intended to run on Linux and Windows.

This system doesn't have a physical printer, instead CUPS is configured to use a PDF printer (Debian package cups-pdf).

The latest thing I tried was to add a menu item that shows a QTF-Document - ready to be printed.

This is the callback for this menu entry:

Quote:

void MyApp::preisliste()
{
Report r;
Size s;
r.ChooseDefaultPrinter("Preisliste");
s = Size(6000 * 210 / 254, 6000 * 297 / 254);
r.SetPageSize(s);
r.Margins(100, 100);

String preisliste;
preisliste << "[ [ [*2 Preisliste]&][2 &][ [2 Alle Preise sind Preise pro Anwesenheitstag.]&][2 &][ {{1935:1612:1612:1612:1612:1617h1; [= [2 Bezeichnung]]:: [= [2 Stufe 0]]:: [= [2 Stufe I]]:: [= [2 Stufe II]]:: [= [2 Stufe III]]:: [= [2 Stufe III H�rtefall]]:: [ [2 Tagespflege]]:: [> [2 `_`_Preis0`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_Preis1`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_Preis2`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_Preis3`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_Preis4`_`_�]]:: [ [2 Altenpflegeumlage ][`2 `*]]:: [> [2 `_`_APU0`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_APU1`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_APU2`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_APU3`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_APU4`_`_�]]:: [ [2 Investitionskosten ][`2 `*`*]]:: [> [2 `_`_IKP0`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_IKP1`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_IKP2`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_IKP3`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_IKP4`_`_�]]:: [ [2 Unterkunft]]:: [> [2 `_`_U0`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_U1`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_U2`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_U3`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_U4`_`_�]]:: [ [2 Verpflegung]]:: [> [2 `_`_V0`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_V1`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_V2`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_V3`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_V4`_`_�]]:: [ [2 Unterkunft `+ Verpflegung]]:: [> [2 `_`_UV0`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_UV1`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_UV2`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_UV3`_`_�]]:: [> [2 `_`_UV4`_`_�]]}}&][>2 &][# [`2 `*][2 Die Altenpflegeumlage ist im Preis f�r die Tagespflege enthalten.]&][# [`2 `*`*][2 Die Investitionskosten werden von der �rtlichen Kommune �bernommen.]&][#2 &][# [*2 Leistungen der Pflegekasse (normal)]&][#2 &][# [2 Ambulante Pflege hat Vorrang vor Tagespflege.

// here we have lots of Replaces, I included just one example..
preisliste.Replace("`_`_PK45`+`_`_", Format("%2,!nl", 200.0));

r << preisliste;
Perform(r);
}

It compiles without error.

When I click the menu entry the list shows in the print preview with all the replaces done.

The problems are:
- When I click PDF-Export I can save a PDF-File. This looks okay. But the page is too big, 227x314 mm instead of 210x297 mm.
- When I click Print it seems to print - but the resulting PDF is empty, 2.3 Kb in size but the empty page has the correct dimensions.
- I changed the code to show the Printer selection dialog by replacing ChooseDefaultPrinter with ChoosePrinter. When I select the printer manually this way and click Print the program crashes immediately, showing "Fatal error" with the message
"Assertion failed in /home/frozen/upp/uppsrc/Core/Vcont.h, line 33
i >= 0 && i < items"
It creates the same empty PDF than before though.

The QTF was created with the QTF designer.

Could the problem be cups-pdf? It prints well using other programs, but it is not a physical printer..

How do I fix the dimensions of the PDF created by the PDF-Export?

I am stuck on both problems.

Kind regards,

frozen

(Update: changed code section to a quote section so that this page renders normally and is no longer that wide..)
