How do I create a PDF document programmatically using C/C++ and WinAPI ?
-
Is there a way to send a bitmap from memory into a PDF file? Is there a DLL library for doing that? All information I am seeing on the topic can be divided into the following categories: 1) Using .NET, C# and the likes... Does not work for me. 2) Using separate PDF converter/creator applications and ShellExecute() calls to those applications from C code. That is cheap. As a variation of this approach, one could select a "printer" from the list of available devices and "print" the document into it. In any case, it requires installation of additional helper software. 3) Using ActiveX libraries (and I have one called pdfgenx.ocx from Alientools Software). I have never used ActiveX with C projects and don't see reliable tools to extract their functionality into a DLL. Please advise. Thank you.
