I entered a bug report for printing cards with graphic effects on iOS devices
causing a crash.
Report #9946
print card crashes with graphic effects
I spent three days tracking down this bug to what was causing it. At first I
thought it was the external for printing on iOS but then with help finally
figured out the cause.
The workaround is to export a snap shot of the card into a variable (instead of
print to pdf / print card) and then use the external used in rreHardcopy to
print the snap shot from the variable.
Here is the code I am calling from within a Share button:
on doPNGPrint
doStartActivityIndicator
if not rreHardcopyIsAvailable() then
answer "Printing is not available at this time." titled "Printing Error"
exit to top
end if
put "MinStickerFreePlay" into tPrintJob
export snapshot from rect (the rect of graphic "Scene") of this card to tPNG
as PNG
put tPNG into URL ("file:" & specialFolderPath("documents") &
"/MinStickerFreePlay.png")
doStopActivityIndicator
put specialFolderPath("Documents") & slash & "MinStickerFreePlay.png" into
tPDFFile
rreHardcopyPrintPDF tPDFFile, tPrintJob
if the result = "printing cancelled" then
exit to top
end if
end doPNGPrint
