Using PdfCreator

Using PdfCreator

Postby chiaiese » Fri Apr 14, 2006 10:17 am

Has anybody used the com interface of pdfcreator ?
I would use it to create a pdf and email directly from within Fwh, without the dialogbox of pdfcreator prompting for email address

The documentation found in pdfcreator directory is not very clear to me
I would really appreciate any working sample
something like:

oPdf := createobject("Pdfcreator.Application")
how to print ?
oPdf:cSendMail( OutputFilename , Recipients )

best regards

Antonio,
Yes, take a look to: PDFCreator_english.chm, it is located in the PDFCreator 9.0 install directory

Por fin he dado con la mejor solución para generar archivos pdf desde mi programa de forma automática.

Bajar pdfcreator que es gratuito de http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/
Instalarlo.

Modificar el registro de windows de la aplicación:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
pdfcreator
program


Los valores de las variables que se deben cambiar para que guarde los ficheros pdf que se van mandando, con el mismo título que le damos al objeto PRINT de nuestro programa (con lo que de esta forma elegimos nosotros el nombre del fichero) son:

Autosavedirectory C:\KK ( o el que más nos guste )
Autosavefilename cambiar el que trae <DateTime> por <Title>
Autosaveformat pdf
.
.
.
useautosave 1


Es muy bueno este programa.

You can try this little function with PdfCreator version 0.9.3

Code: Select all  Expand view
function printPdf()

local oPdfApp := CreateObject("PDFCreator.clsPDFCreator")
local cASD := oPdfApp:cOption("AutoSaveDirectory" )
local cASF := oPdfApp:cOption("AutoSaveFileName" )

oPdfApp:cOption("UseAutoSave", 1 )
oPdfApp:cOption("UseAutoSaveDirectory", 1 )
oPdfApp:cOption("AutoSaveStartStandardProgram", 1 )
oPdfApp:cOption("AutoSaveDirectory", "c:\temp" )
oPdfApp:cOption("AutoSaveFileName" , "Mypdf" )
oPdfApp:cSaveOptions()

// print something
oPdfApp:cPrintPDFCreatorTestpage()

oPdfApp:cOption("AutoSaveDirectory", cASD )
oPdfApp:cOption("AutoSaveFileName" , cASF )
oPdfApp:cSaveOptions()

oPdfApp = nil
return (nil)


for other functionality look at the help file

We can not get the pdfCreator to work in Vista. Is there anyone who runs it in Vista? :roll:

No consigo que esta función haga nada, simplemente se ejecuta y no realiza nada. Tengo instalado pdfcreator 0.92



function Main()

local oPdfApp := CreateObject ("PDFCreator.clsPDFCreator")
local cASD := oPdfApp:cOption("AutoSaveDirectory" )
local cASF := oPdfApp:cOption("AutoSaveFileName" )

oPdfApp:cOption("UseAutoSave", 1 )
oPdfApp:cOption("UseAutoSaveDirectory", 1 )
oPdfApp:cOption("AutoSaveStartStandardProgram", 1 )
oPdfApp:cOption("AutoSaveDirectory", "c:\temp" )
oPdfApp:cOption("AutoSaveFileName" , "Mypdf" )
oPdfApp:cSaveOptions()

// print something
oPdfApp:cPrintPDFCreatorTestpage()

oPdfApp:cOption("AutoSaveDirectory", cASD )
oPdfApp:cOption("AutoSaveFileName" , cASF )
oPdfApp:cSaveOptions()

oPdfApp = nil
return (nil)
Gracias

Este opción abre el Outlook con el PDF como adjunto pero no tiene ni E-Mail de destio ni Asunto:

oReg:Set("SendEmailAfterAutoSaving" , 1 )

Alquien sabe como añadir estos datos para el envio automatico de facturas.

Hi all,

It seems to be very interesting... and how could I put this to generate PDFs from my preview (RPreview)?

TIA,

I use Image2PDF to convert .emf files (created by FWH previewer) into .pdf files - works well. Just a couple of changes in tpreview.prg to "capture" the .emf files while they are still alive.

This works great for printing via FWH on internet apps as the cgi-program can invoke the report object - which in turn creates the .emf files for viewing - which I grab and convert that "Image2PDF" on the fly - then the app simply delivers the pdf file over the web.

Also, support from Image2PDF is excellent. Furthermore, you can purchase a license which enables you to give unlimited, royality free distribution.
