  Which versions of ActiveReports, if any, create PDFs that are ADA compliant?

  Hello,

  What I understood, from ADA compliant, you are referring to 508 PDF compliance. If my understanding is correct then AR11 + supports the 508 PDF compliance.

  You need to set the version property of PDF export to PDF/UA-1 to make a pdf 508 compliance.

  If there is any bug occurs, then it will be fixed only in the latest version of the AR.

  Thanks,

  Mohit,

  Thanks for your response. Can you help me understand how setting that property in AR11+ makes the PDF generated by ActiveReports compliant? Or can you point me to resources explaining how that compliance is achieved?

  Thanks in advance for your help!

  Hello,

  You can use the following lines of code to make the generated PDF as 508 complaince.

  For SectionReport,

  
  // Create a Section report.
  GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReport rpt = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReport();
  // For the code to work, report.rpx must be placed in the bin\debug folder of your project.
  System.Xml.XmlTextReader xtr = new System.Xml.XmlTextReader(Application.StartupPath + "\\report.rpx");
  rpt.LoadLayout(xtr);
  rpt.Run();
  GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Document.SectionDocument MyDocument = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Document.SectionDocument("rpt");
  // Export the report in PDF format.
  GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.Section.PdfExport PdfExport1 = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.Section.PdfExport();
  PdfExport1.Version = GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.Section.PdfVersion.PDFUA1;
  PdfExport1.Export(MyDocument, Application.StartupPath + "\\PDFExpt.pdf");
  
  
  

  For PageReport,

  
  // Provide the page report you want to render.
  System.IO.FileInfo rptPath = new System.IO.FileInfo(@"..\..\PageReport1.rdlx");
  GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PageReport pageReport = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PageReport(rptPath);
  
  // Create an output directory.
  System.IO.DirectoryInfo outputDirectory = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo(@"C:\MyPDF");
  outputDirectory.Create();
  
  // Provide settings for your rendering output.
  GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.Page.Settings pdfSetting = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.Page.Settings();
  
  // Set the rendering extension and render the report.
  GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.Page.PdfRenderingExtension pdfRenderingExtension = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.Page.PdfRenderingExtension();
  GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Rendering.IO.FileStreamProvider outputProvider = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Rendering.IO.FileStreamProvider(outputDirectory, System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(outputDirectory.Name));
              
  // Overwrite output file if it already exists
  outputProvider.OverwriteOutputFile = true;
  
              pdfSetting.Version = GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.Page.PdfVersion.PDFUA1;
  pageReport.Document.Render(pdfRenderingExtension, outputProvider, pdfSetting);
  
  

  Hope it helps.

  Thanks,
