If you can answer this question, you probably already know how to generate a pdf file *from/with* Dolphin. Besides, there are a lot of possibilities and you should specify a little more in detail what kind of data(text,pictures,URLs,etc.) you want to convert to pdf and what is their input format.

Ingo, you are right.
Really my problem i about to generate PDF'S files. I know that if you see that kind of files there something like macros inside or may be an scripting language. I need information about it. A manual or a paper explain it. What I need i.e is make simple reports , tabular reports but with diferent fonts and colors and may be include a logo inside. I hope I was more clear now.

I ported a package called SPDF a couple of years ago- it is probably pretty
close to what you're looking for. It even has some interesting report features that I haven't looked into much- in fact I really haven't done much with it since the initial port. Robert Jarvis has since worked with it and fixed several things that were broken. The latest version I have is (I think) from 9/15/2000, I'm sending it in a seperate mail since I can't post attachments through my news server. He may have a newer version now. Some other people may have worked on it as well- my machine at home is currently comatose and my mail archives (plus any more recent versions of the package) are all there :( There are a lot of interesting looking reporting-type features in there too- I wish I had the time to pursue it further. Hopefully the package I'm sending will load and run in 4.0 fine.

I think the best overall resource for investigating file layout specs is at http://www.wotsit.org. Try the following ling directly: http://www.wotsit.org/download.asp?f=pdfspec If this doesn't work, just search for "pdf" on the main Wotsit page and you'll find it. You will require Adobe Acrobat Reader or similar PDF file reader. A word of warning, the specification and related examples run over 500(!) pages. The actual layout, though, is pretty straightforward. I've done a small bit of research into creating PDF files using various languages (REBOL and Smalltalk being two), but haven't got much to show for the efforts, yet. I hope this helps.

I believe COM objects are supported - perhaps they have all the
functionality you need. Dolphin does a nice job of wrapping them - jlo "pablo digonzelli" <[hidden email]> wrote in message news:9ecvcs$293u3$[hidden email]... > Hi , someone know how to generate a pdf file from dolphin ? > TIA > > |

A PDF specification you can find at Adobe's WebSite. Bye Ingo |
