vkbdevcfg export

Hello all,

I recently got a pair of gladiators, and I'm loving them!
So now I'm trying to get better with VkbDevCFG, and I'm missing a feature: bindings export.

I would like it to:
- have an easy to compare bindings on different sticks [I'm doing with diff-pdf but this is far from perfect]
- be able to version the bindings
- and more importantly: I'm trying to write a "generator" that takes the bindings from VkbDevCFG, the bindings from the game (Star Citizen, an xml) and then generate a nice printable image
with the 100% correct guaranteed up-to-date buttons

Any "machine readable" export would be great (xml, json, other?)

NOTE: I did try to parse the "device report" pdf but there is no text; I'm pretty sure this is just an image :?:

Or can someone point me to another way to do what I want ?

[yes this is clearly over engineering; I have spent more time on this than I would have manually creating a pdf with the bindings; but that's beside the point :mrgreen: ]

Report is created by FastReport. You can save it as .fr3 or export to readable pdf. I tried to save resulting pdf as rtf and succeeded.

Oh? My bad. I was clicking the "export" button by default instead of trying with "save" :oops:

Indeed both the "fp3" saved, and "rtf" exported seems to be usable for what I want to do.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I will get to parsing then.
