[archive] Creating .PDF Files from AcuCobol

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 12 July 2005]

I have read a few threads about PDF files and hso to create the from AcuCobol with PDFCreator using the 'PDFCreator Printer'. But I would like to create the .PDF file directly from AcuCobol.

Does anyone have any experience with how to do this ? Coul be via a .DLL

i found in past an MF Cobol Source which converts txt-files to pdf-files.

I tested to port it to create direct pdf-files but i didn't get it to work, :( If you want the source i can send it to you.

Hi SteenBjerge


we have a DLL which can create PDF-Files directliy from AcuCobol-Programs. There are about 10 functions in this dll, like open-Pdf, set Password, Set Pagesize, set Font, write page close, printpdf and so on. Detailed description will be available.
