There are no small example programs because the complexity of whats involved. The best ones are actually printer drivers, not programs. The output from Word is "printed" to the driver and the driver is then able to take exactly what Word sends and assemble the .PDF without having to know anything about Word's file format. If you want examples, search the Open Source sites for "PDF". You end up with lots of libraries and projects, like PDFCreator[^] on SourceForge.

Hi, I just have the project that open PDF file in adobe acrobat reader from our application vb6. It might not answer your question but just give you an idea. 1. In VB6, create a form with one button name Command1. 2. Put the following code on the general declaration section. (It call to the windows API) Private Declare Function ShellExecuteA Lib "shell32" (ByVal hWnd As Long, _ ByVal Op As String, ByVal file As String, ByVal params As String, _ ByVal directory As String, ByVal ShowCmd As Long) As Long 3. Double click Button1 and write the following code. Call ShellExecuteA(0, vbNullString, "C:\PDF_File.pdf", vbNullString, _ vbNullString, vbShowNormal) Note: * There is no component or reference were added to this project. * I got an idea from expert-exchange website. But I have changed some option in the code to match my file path. Roath Kanel APO-CEDC Save Children Norway-Cambodia Office

I've seen such conversion being done in VB 6..using adobe acrobat. However, trying to apply the same concept in VB.Net resulted in errors. I will attempt to solve it. Thanks for the steps to solve it, Roath. Appreciate it. Regards Frank
