A possible solution for printing datastores when pb.ini contains "UseHwnd=No" #1

Closed mjl38 closed 2 years ago

mjl38 commented 2 years ago

Please check this discussion: https://community.appeon.com/index.php/qna/q-a/need-for-documentation-on-all-existing-pb-ini-entries and https://community.appeon.com/index.php/qna/q-a/printsetup-and-choosing-ms-pdf-printer-already-prints-the-datastore-not-in-a-valid-format. The entry greatly improves performance, but has a side effect when printing datastores, as described by Benjamin. He also suggests a workaround. Should / Could we incorporate that solution into the PFC classes? If so, how to go about it? I'd think we would have to modify the pfc classes and not the pfe. Can we create circular references within pfc classes using pfe classes? I think these already exist, but it might be wise to avoid those? regards.

Follow up: I've already done the changes and created a pull request. If anyone thinks this should NOT be incorporated into the pfc classes, no problem. regards.
