It errors looking for pdfxf.vcx which it can't find.
the vcx is actually named pdfx but int he testform I don't see a reference to the vcx in question

The VCX should be in your path, the code is in the click event of the command buttons.

Hi thanks for your nice class, but I have a question:

I tried to Convert a Report we are using and the Labels wich are using Arial Bold Fonts aren't converted as bold into the PDF.

Is there  something I can do about that?

Well with Arial Bold it works for me, don't know what could be your problem. The class will have problems with no TTF fonts, Arial is a TTF so not sure what may be wrong with your reports. Check in your windows Registry if you have an entry for Arial Bold in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

Hi Jean Luc, thanks for the kind words. I'm sorry but haru library pdf does not support the features you request here. As soon as they update the DLL I will check.

Cheers.

Hi,
Thanks for your class... it really works and it's very quick.. I've got 2 questions...
- I need to create a PDF that can't be edited or copied but must be opened without any password (just a master password)... Is there a solution with your class ?
- For another project, I just need to open a PDF, modifie title, put securities (not allow copy and editing), put a masterpassword and save/close. Do you have a idea with your class ?
Thanks in advance
Jean-Luc

I have begun using your class and have it found it to be extremely useful. However, the one thing that I have noticed is that when using it as a normal PDF rather than a PDF as image, is that the labels on my reports all are moved to the right on the PDF. Is there any way to prevent this other than just creating them as an image?

Thanks for the quality class.

You are welcome, sorry for the late answer. I will take a look at the code and try with different alignments in labels

Great job!
It works as you said, it is usable "right out of the box"...
Would be nice to be able to handle pictures in objects (fill)...
Well done!

Thanks a lot for your nice words

Great, great job!
People like you give me hope for VFP's longevity.
I am curios about the "Merge Document" option. What is it and when can I play with this new toy?
Again, many thanks.

Thanks for you kind words, Cesar Chalom has already modified the class to include Merge Documents capability take a look at his Blog

FoxyPreviewer...

I have been looking for this for years!  Thanks for your work and sharing this with the Fox community.  I noticed that in your samples you were able to include jpgs in your report samples.  I have been trying to use a bmp as letter head for my company, but with no success.  Can you give an a suggestion on this?  The bmp is 33k and is in a different directory then the project.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Thanks for the comment, well just be sure the folder where the bmp is stored ins in the VFP Path with Set Path

We converted our BMPs to Jpgs and the images are printing perfectly.  Thanks again for sharing your solution.

Good, you are welcome!!!

I have created a little proc that is creating my PDFs beautifully when I run it within VFP, but when I create an executable, I have some values returned to my form which really messes up my form.  

As you can probably tell, I have stripped out the heart of your form and put is in a little proc.  Have I missed something that tells it to suppress the values that are returned?

Local loListener As "PdfListener" Of "Pdfx.vcx"
loListener = NewObject('PdfListener', 'c:\amSpd\Libs\PDFx.vcx')
loListener.cCodePage="CP1252" &&CodePage
loListener.cTargetFileName = mTargetName
Report Form (mSourceName) Object loListener
RELEASE loListener

There are 2 long numbers (they change, but seem to be 8 digits long), a number with 4 decimal places (so far it is 792.0000), a .T., and a 1.  When I compiled and run your sample, there were no values returned.  Do you have the time to answer my question?

Thanks.

Hi, I think that is more related to Set Talk Setting than PDFx, also take a look at the NoConsole option of the Report Form Command

Please let me know if that was the case
