Help: Creating a PDF-file, translating the source code from VB5

[littleviking]

Hello,

I understand, that it is currently impossible to create PDF-files using Basic4PPC.

I recently found this homepage (VB-Tec / Workshops / PDF / Grundlagen - PDF-Struktur und Problemlösungen), which explains how to create PDF-files using VB5. The homepage is german language only, but the source code is available here:
http://vb-tec.de/pdf.zip

Now, I try to translate it to visual basic 2008 express and to Basic4ppc. Unfortunately, my knowledge and experience in both languages is limited, so perhaps some expert has some time to get this running in basic4ppc.

Thank you!

Oh, thank you!

Will have a look at, but I guess it can not include pictures into PDF?

Why Not use the prety printing dll wich will print any b4p document, and use it with a free PDF printer, wich acts like a virtual printer...

Good idea, thank you!

But it seems to be desktop-only, and my proof-of-concept-thing is device-only

Hello Cableguy,

and littleviking

But it seems to be desktop-only

the solution which cableguy tells you is only for the desktop

It was one of my most wanted wish to have a solution for the device ...

My printer is connected to the pc by apple express and wifi. Is it impossible to transform the pdf-file or whatever into some bytes and send that to the printer through the wifi-connection? *loud thinking and dreaming*
