virtual printer driver for PDF

[=?Utf-8?B?TWlrZTk5MDA=?=]

I would like our app to print to PDF instead of the printer and then email
the pdf. For example, we have a print preview of an invoice and if the user
click to print the preview and selects the PDF dirver, it prints to PDF. Is
there a source code that does this or a control to buy and be able to
distribute it easily?

ITextSharp is available at SourceForge:

http://itextsharp.sourceforge.net/

It is not a printer driver, but it will allow you to create PDFs from
your program.

Re: virtual printer driver for PDF

thanks
very very intersecting.
Anyway, I use primopdf from activepdf. Since it is free, I believe you will
not have problem distributing it.

Re: virtual printer driver for PDF

Yes activepdf is ok if you do not want to programmaticall y print to pdf using
a driver. If you need to do programmaticall y they charge per customer!!

Re: virtual printer driver for PDF

Do not know that, I do not use the primopdf API as well.
Anyway, I use ComponentOne print control ( it has the print preview) which
has the PDF output as well.

RE: virtual printer driver for PDF

We can do this project for you. We have the source as well if you need it.
The whole question really is what kind of PDF do you want?

Superb product. Will create PDFs without a printer driver, will print them
directly to your default (or any other installed) printer etc...
