PDF Creating Open Source Tool : PDFCreator

Post by Milan Mehta »

Hi All,

I saw a previous thread discussing PDF Creating tool working as Printer Driver. Here is one that is open source and free tool. Evan search on google will also lead it there. I am quite happy using it !

You may visit : http://sector7g.wurzel6.de

Private mail to Reinaldo and James bounced back. So I am putting it here.

Thanks,

Milan.

I'm looking for a process to create a .pdf file from the Fivewin EMF / WMF formats produced for the Fivewin previewer.

I have a web application which creates reports using the standard fivewin report objects, but, I need to save the output ( .EMF file ) to a .PDF file and deliver over the web.

Will this tool perform a seamless conversion from the .EMF file to .PDF?

Did you try the www.amyuni.com printer driver ?

This company has a roy-free printer driver with the pdf creation feature (and many other features like "save to rtf", "gif","jpg"... )

The end-user never see the printer driver because it appair only in background when you redirect the print on that print driver.

My application is a cgi process -

I run an exe using stdin and stdout and http environment variables. The print process will be invoked from this .exe - do it's processing - then pipe html out via stdout. Works like a charm.

I'm wondering, can an internet instance of running a program "see" printers? It's on a server - not like configuring Printer Setup from a workstation.

Do you think these print drivers can be seen by my Harbour .exe file?

I reviewed your class that you posted - quite alot of work.

Is there available a process to call which will convert a .EMF / .WMF Windows Metafile to a .pdf?

I have used some print drivers to accomplish this, but I was hoping to find something which can be called directly similar to the class provided here.

Any ideas?
