Android Question Most recent PDF Creator Library

[Lary Yenta]

Hey folks,

I was wondering what the latest PDF creation tool was. I tried downloading PDFWriter 1.1 and cannot get it to show a pdf document and it doesn't seem to save a document either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Lary

pdfwriter does not SHOW a pdf. It just can WRITE to create a pdf.

So the latest PDF renderer is DonManfred's one : https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...eta-create-your-own-pdf-viewer.49103/#content

Hi guys,

Sorry for the delayed response but I had a bunch of appointments today so much of my day was spent in waiting rooms. I am really wondering what the best way to create reports is going to be. My monitoring tool keeps track of meds and blood glucose tests and I will be adding a module to keep track of appointments, as well as some ways to report the data collected. I am looking for some way to create reports that can be sent out to a cloud printing printer or a pdf file but I was thinking that even an html report would be all right. I have been looking at DonManfred's pdf renderer but would like to have a solution for people with older versions of Android.

Please, let me know what you folks think the best approach might be.

I use the PDFJetB4A library to create PDF files in Android. @DonManfred's library is good but is limited to Android 5.x and above. PDFJetB4A is really easy to use and is absolutely great for creating PDF documents, I highly recommend this library.

Below us a post that I created showing what I use the library for. The link to the library is in that post.
