Exporting SVG to PDF with TMS?

Question

In a Delphi 10.4.2 Win32 Console application, i try to export an SVG file to PDF using the TMS libraries and following the example here:

Edit: (The page at: https://www.tmssoftware.com/site/blog.asp was still available a few hours ago, but now it seems it shows another page)

program TestSVGToPDF;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

{$R *.res}

uses
  AdvPDFLib,
  System.Types,
  System.SysUtils;

procedure ExportSVGToPDF(const ASVG, APDF: string);
// https://www.tmssoftware.com/site/blog.asp
var
  p: AdvPDFLib.TAdvPDFLib;
begin
  p := AdvPDFLib.TAdvPDFLib.Create;
  try
    p.BeginDocument(APDF);
    p.NewPage;
    p.Graphics.DrawImageFromFile(ASVG, System.Types.RectF(50, 50, p.PageWidth - 50, 500));
    p.EndDocument(True);
  finally
    p.Free;
  end;
end;

begin
  try
    ExportSVGToPDF('C:\DELPHI\_test\TestSVGToPDF\flower.svg', 'C:\DELPHI\_test\TestSVGToPDF\flower.pdf');
    // Compiler error: [dcc32 Fatal Error] AdvTypes.pas(95): F2613 Unit 'Graphics' not found.
  except
    on E: Exception do
      Writeln(E.ClassName, ': ', E.Message);
  end;
end.

Unfortunately, I get this Compiler error: [dcc32 Fatal Error] AdvTypes.pas(95): F2613 Unit 'Graphics' not found.

This is the SVG file used for my test:

Does it help if you go to **Project** > **Options** > **Building** > **Delphi Compiler** > **Unit scope names** and add `Vcl`? — Andreas Rejbrand, Mar 11 '21 at 19:31

Adding Vcl and Vcl.Imaging to the "Unit Scope Names" in the Project Options solves the problem.

Now the PDF Export works.
