wRTF2PDF does everything that wPDFControl can, and also includes a powerful RTF engine to convert RTF documents to PDF files. Since the wRTF2PDF DLL is quite a bit larger than the PDFControl DLL, the customers of RTF2PDF will receive both DLLs, plus a key which works for both.
Create full-featured PDF files directly from your application using this powerful DLL.
An ActiveX is included to simplify the usage of the DLL in VB.
The DLL and OCX provide you with a powerful API to create PDF files, including links, outlines, thumbnails, graphics, etc. You can use a graphic device handle (DC) which is compatible to the usual printing code. You don't need to convert the code you currently use for printing to create PDF files!
The RTF engine included can be utilized by using certain command codes.

Our PDF engines PDFControl and RTF2PDF now come with a native .NET wrapper class which makes it easy to use the power of these DLLs under your favorite .NET language. Not only does the wrapper publish the properties and events of the PDF engine, it also includes native .NET features such as a 'Graphics' object for your drawing code. Please read the online manual of the .NET wrapper
To use this DLL in VB you have to add the OCX library wPDF_X01 to your toolbox.
Then you can create one PDFControl object on your form.
It can be then used like this to export a RTF file:
If PDFControl1.StartEngine("c:\wpPDFControl\DLL\wPDFControlDemo.dll", "LicenseName", "LicenseCode", 0) = True Then
PDFControl1.BeginDoc "c:\test.pdf", 0
PDFControl1.ExecIntCommand 1000, 0
PDFControl1.ExecStrCommand 1002, "c:\test.rtf"
PDFControl1.ExecIntCommand 1100, 0
PDFControl1.EndDoc
Else
MsgBox "We were not able to load the PDF Engine DLL", 0, "Error!"
End If
Note that you have to execute StartEngine and set the path of the PDF DLL. This way it is possible to have different PDF engines on your system, so there is no need to worry about a version conflict. We are also able to customize the DLL for you.
The license information is only important for the registered version.
