wRTF2PDF / TextDynamic Server: RTF / PDF creation for .NET and as DLL

The perfect tool for document and PDF creation

The fully programmable word processing engine for deployment with end user applications (DLL, VB, .NET) and on ASP or ASP.NET servers for text, i.e. RTF and PDF creation. With Version 4 also 64 bit Windows servers are supported.

The powerful API makes it easy to
- load text (DocX, RTF, ANSI, HTML, UNICODE and MIME)
- process text, create tables, insert text and do mail merge
- generate text (PDF, DocX, RTF, ANSI, HTML, UNICODE and MIME)
- it also prints text (on paper)
- A special mode to format tables more like a web browser (with cell auto sizing). This demo PDF file was created by RTF2PDF TextDynamic using the HTML to PDF conversion with our web site as input.
- With Version 4 a 32 bit and a 64 bit DLL are included.
- Also available: Optional reporting (The standard version already does mail-merge, with this extension also bands and groups can be used in the template)

RTF2PDF can be easily used with ASP or ASP.NET to create HTML or PDF response output. Since the API is so similar to the API of TextDynamic you can use almost the same code in your ASP page as you used for your desktop application.

This means that using our RTF2PDF / TextDynamic server your windows www server can create PDF, HTML and RTF output like your desktop program. Do you need this functionality also for Linux? If yes, please drop us a line.

TextDynamic + RTF2PDF / TextDynamic Server Manual


This is the HTML Version of the combined Manual and Reference which is provided as PDF and CMH file.
http://www.wpcubed.com/manuals/textdynamic/
Here you can download the RTF2PDF demo. It includes an ActiveX and .NET DLLs for the Framework 1.1, 2 and 3.5. wPDFControl can also be used in C++ directly. The demo works for 45 days.

 

Export RTF file using "Commands"

if PDFControl1.StartEngine("c:tempwpPDFControlDLLwPDFControlDemo.dll", "LicenseName", "LicenseCode", 0) = true Then

 PDFControl1.BeginDoc "c:temptest.pdf", 0

 PDFControl1.ExecIntCommand 1000, 0

 PDFControl1.ExecStrCommand 1002, "c:temptest.rtf"

 PDFControl1.ExecIntCommand 1100, 0

 PDFControl1.EndDoc

else

 MsgBox "We were not able to load the PDF Engine DLL", 0, "Error!"

End if

 

Export in VB6/VBS, using Interfaces (IWPMemo)

Private Sub Command1_Click()

' Initiate the OCX (if it is not already on the form)

Set PDF = CreateObject('wPDF_X01.PDFControl')

' Start Engine, last param =LIC_CODE

If PDF.StartEngine(DLLNAME.Text, "LIC_NAME", "LIC_KEY", 0) Then

' Load the file, TRUE would insert/append it

If PDF.Memo.LoadFromFile(RTFFileName.Text, False, "AUTO") Then

    PDF.PDFCreator.PDFFile = Replace(RTFFileName.Text, ".rtf", ".pdf")

' Convert it

' VB6 does not let us call PDF.PDFCretor.Print so we use a command instead

    PDF.ExecIntCommand 1305, 0

 

' Finish PDF creation

Else

     MsgBox "Cannot load RTF file " + RTFFileName.Text

End If

  PDF.StopEngine

Else

  MsgBox "Cannot load RTF2PDF Engine from " + DLLNAME.Text

End If

End Sub
 

You can also add some code to replace some text and change page format

  If PDF.Memo.LoadFromFile(RTFFileName.Text, False, "AUTO") Then

    ' replace text

    PDF.Memo.TextCursor.ReplaceText "[NAME]", "Julian Ziersch", True, False, False, True

    ' Chage Pagesize

    PDF.Memo.PageSize.Landscape = True

 

  .....
 

Export in ASP.NET (C#)

RTF2PDF pdf = new RTF2PDF();
pdf.Memo.LoadFromFile("somtext.rtf", true, "AUTO");
pdf.PdfCreator.PDFFile = "memory";
// remove any output
Response.Clear();

// Add new header
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";

Response.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/pdf");

// Set a file name which is displayed

Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition","inline;filename=PortableDocument.pdf");

// Write the PDF data

Response.Clear();

// Finish
pdf.Dispose();
