Questions from a potential user

  • I am looking for a PDF tool for my software and wonder (a) what version of the tools I will need and (b) the cost of course. The most salient facts are:

    (a) Currently, I am generating documents from my programs written in Delphi 7 by writing to the canvas of a postscript printer, and then converting the resulting PS file to PDF using Acrobat Distiller. This works fine, but I would like to be able to generate PDF directly. Which version would I need?

    (b) I would also like to be able to add the ability to generate PDF files to some scripts (CGI) and an Intraweb application on a server I have.

    In case that is relevant, the server is used within an academic institution (University of Bergen, Norway)

    Hi,

    wPDF Standard does this. You can use its 'Canvas' directly or you can send metafiles 'EMF' to the PDF engine

    >>(b) I would also like to be able to add the ability to generate PDF files to some scripts (CGI) and an Intraweb application on a server I have. <<

    You need the wPDF Internet Server License for this.
