Create and view PDF?

[Shako]

Hi

I've been reading about Haru PDF to generate a pdf.

Could someone please post an example for Labwindows\CVI? .Im not sure how to get it to work.

One other thing is how can i display the pdf without installing an external program?

Thanks

Shako

Hi,

just a small note (didn't know haruPDF before...): I use fop (apache-java-tool) to create pdf-reports based on xmls and xsl, works quite nice.

Here you can find a sample project for report creation using the HARU Pdf library.

Thanks.

This shows me much more than what i was doing.

Do you know if there is a way to display a pdf in a CVI panel?

You can use an ActiveX container, but you must use the ActiveX interface of a PDF viewer (for example Adobe Reader).

The approach is similar to the WebBrowser example (or other ActiveX supplied samples)

i was think of that.

But need my program to be self contained.

Thats the reason why i used Haru for pdf creation.

Is there a way to convert a pdf to and image which i can display in cvi ?

Hi Shako,

Have you tried doing a quick Google search for a PDF to image converter? There seems to be lots of options on the web (some free, and some paid).  I don't know if I can recommend a specific one as I have never tried doing this before.
