Creating a PDF file
-
Hi I have a need to generate reports, in PDF, in my VC++ application. I've seen numerous libraries that will take the pain away and make my life easier but I'd like to create my own library that will allow me to generate these reports. If anyone could point me in the direction of some examples or tutorials I would be grateful. Thanks

I think the easiest way is to preapre your reports for printing in the traditional way and send them to a PDF application. There are a number of free applications available. I tkink it must be possible to change the interfacing to the printer classes so that they look like a create PDF button or whatever you like.

He specifically said that he wanted to do that by himself. Did you take a look at the link you provided ?

Adobe has, on their site, a developer section containing links to the PDF standard documentation.

Thanks, I visited Adobe and the reference material is quite good, however it lacks real world examples, e.g. if you'd like to create a table or insert an image things start to go wrong very quickly. Also I created a pdf by printing a word document through a driver I found and if you open the file in textpad you cant see any of the text, as if its been hidden away or encoded in some way. There seems to be a variety of Libraries out there and Text3PDF on code project is very good but I'd really like to create my own library, so I dont have to worry about license fees, having my own license updated or pay royalities. This really seems to be a tricky area... Thanks for all the help tho, as it really helpful.

I think that when you create a PDF by using a "PDF printer driver", it treats the whole document as a bitmap / raster image. If you use Acrobat Reader to open a PDF document which was created by a PDF printer driver, you can't select text.
