PDF Creator

Post by cdmmaui »

Hello,

I am looking at a better way to create PDF documents from my application. I am using a third party tool to create the PDF via WaitRun/Command line method. This process seems to take longer depending on the size of the input file I create.

Can we create PDFs directly from from FWH 0811 that allows me to draw lines and include images?

Thank you,

Hello,
have a look at FASTREPORT.

http://forums.fivetechsupport.com/viewt ... nt#p100487

Code: Select all

//here you can use export
      oFr:SetProperty("PDFExport", "FileName", ".\Myfile.pdf")
      oFr:SetProperty("PDFExport", "UserPassword", "PW…" ) 
      oFr:SetProperty("PDFExport", "OwnerPassword", "PW…" )
      oFr:SetProperty("PDFExport", "OpenAfterExport", .f.)
      oFr:SetProperty("PDFExport", "UserPassword", "test")
      oFr:SetProperty("PDFExport", "ShowDialog",.f.)
      oFr:PrepareReport()
      oFr:DoExport("PDFExport")
 

Best regards,
Otto

Darrell

The newer versions of FWH have the export to PDF or to Word built into rpreview.prg and Prev32.dll.

If you can afford to upgrade .. That is a good reason.

Thanks Otto and Rick.

I need to upgrade FWH, however I need to create PDFs without preview interface as PDF need to be created automatically via an automated process.

Thanks Again!

Hello Darrell,

>however I need to create PDFs without preview interface as PDF
This is what the code I posted for you does.
