Hi,

(1) creating a RichText layer using:
ImageEnView1.LayersAdd('Double click', 40, clBlack, 'Arial', []);
TIETextLayer(ImageEnView1.CurrentLayer).EnableFormatting := True;

or
ImageEnView1.LayersAdd(ielkText);
TIETextLayer(ImageEnView1.CurrentLayer).RichText := 'Double click';
TIETextLayer(ImageEnView1.CurrentLayer).EnableFormatting := True;

then (2) manually editing the text, first using the enter key to get the two words on two lines and than formatting the text (e.g. color and/or size of the word "click" or text orientation of "Double click") and (3) saving it as PDF using:
ImageEnView1.IO.SaveToFilePDF(PDFFile);

the text in the PDF file is on two lines but doesn't have the formatting changes.



What am I missing?

Hi Al

I'm afraid Rich Text formatting is not supported when exporting to PDF. I will add this to the documentation.

The following workaround converts the text layers to images before saving to PDF thus maintaining the RichText formatting.
for i := 0 to ImageEnView1.LayersCount - 1 do
if TIELayer(ImageEnView1.Layers[i]) is TIETextLayer then
ImageEnView1.Layers[i].ConvertToImageLayer(1, True);

Hi Al

Yes, that is a suitable workaround, though note that the text will not be selectable like other text (or available via Find for example).
