PDF generation
[1/8] from: hudgeon:zip:au at: 30-Apr-2001 17:53
Is anyone working on a text to pdf converter or a version of Make Spec that
generates a pdf?

Adobe should have a site that converts text to PDF.

We're currently using PDFLib (www.pdflib.com) with PHP to generate PDF
documents on the fly on our server. I was wondering if anyone was
developing an equivalent dialect for Rebol.

Obviously, and many other programs do it. But that was not the
question. Anyway, if someone is interested to do a rebol pdf generator
but isn't too sure how, there is a freeware program written in VB with
source, so that should help and encourage the candidate.
As for the name of the program, er, I forgot. If there is interest,
mail me and I'll look it up.

I'm quite interested, because I'm rewriting a more generalized
version of make-spec and it would be nice to add PDF formatting. PDF
specs are public, but I couldn't find them on Adobe's site.

Not working on it, but if you need it, you could use this trick:
- get ghostscript & ghostview @ http://www.ghostgum.com.au (for
free)
- save your document in ps format. Under Win env, this is done by
choosing "Print to file" in the "Print..." box.
- use ghostview to convert your *.ps into a *.pdf.
hope this help !

Hi all,
Sorry for the delay in my answer (no internet connection at home).
Here's the link to a free html to pdf converter with source code, but
please note this is not the one I had in mind. I just can't remember
where I've seen the VB project. But you might prefer to read C++ code
anyway.

Good luck, and keep me posted when you achieve something interesting.
