n-up previewing and printing - best practice

[neubert]

Hi there,

I have developed a previewer/printer form using TPrintPreview. The previewer should be capable of n-up printing, i.e. rendering 2 half pages on one page, or 4 quarter pages on one page. Source is a TRichEdit component.

I realized that it is not sufficient to render the RichEdit with PaintRichText into 2 or 4 Rect regions on the canvas. This does not scale the pages down.

In your opinion, what is the best way to accomplish this?

Best regards,
Boris
