  pdf: TFlexCelPdfExport;
  stream: TFileStream;

    //FlexCelPdfExport that we will use to do the export.
    pdf := TFlexCelPdfExport.Create;
    try
      pdf.AllowOverwritingFiles := true;

      pdf.PdfType := TPdfType.PDFA3;
      //Or set the pdf author
      pdf.Properties.Author := 'myself';

      //Export the grid to the stream, using our custom FlexCelPdfExport.
