wPDF V5 is a PDF creation component designed for VCL applications like Delphi and C++Builder. Unlike many competing products, it deals not only with "Canvas" methods, but also with GDI API calls which require a device handle as parameter (Canvas.Handle). Thanks to this technology, the product has a wide range of uses and can be integrated with various other reporting solutions, such as report builder and fast report. It is particularly effective when linked with WPTools.
While the standard version includes a DLL, DCU files can be ordered to integrate the PDF engine directly into your application without having to distribute additional DLLs. wPDF has been proven successful since 2001 and is widely used in OEM products. It operates internally as an EMF (Windows metafile) to PDF conversion routine, this makes it possible to provide a native canvas property of TCanvas type, with a handle property of HDC type that allows for the use of Windows GDI commands.
