I already checked this demo. But this one does not use the RVPrintPreview

component, which I would like to use, because there is much comfort already done

for me (zooming, goto nextpage, ...), and for generating the PDF I just can do

MyGtRichViewInterface.RenderDocument(MyRVPrint, False);

an PDF is generated with headers/footers, papersize, papermargins like I

"designed" it for the RVPreview.

I just need to provide the information about my virtual printer to RVPrint

somehow. Unfortunately I can not just instanciate a TPrinter and set the

papersize, and then make it the defaultprinter trough SetPrinter(MyPrinter).

Is there not way to do such a thing? Maybe I can use a TRVReportHelper instead

of TRVPrint and connect it to my RVPrintPreview, but there are no header/footer

for this, right?

Thanks.
