Need some help from VB Programmers...I have to submit my mid year assignment before end of this year. I decided to create a component (DLL file) for Converting Documents to PDF (HTML,Reports,Documents,.. To PDF) as my assingment. So i need some help. 1) Can you please give some resource for regarding this? 2) Which area I should have to cover? 3) Any SRS or other documents do you have about this Topic. Please. Please. Help would be appreciated. God Bless you all.. Hello NAF,
it depends what your assignment allows you to do. There are PDF printer drivers around to which you would just have to print and you'd receive a nice PDF file (then the printer driver would do the conversion). Alternatively you could use Ghostscript do make the conversion as some of the printer drivers also do (CutePDF for example).

Thank you Very much Timothy Casey. God bless you and may god always accept your good deeds. Thanks again dude... "NAF" <nafly.if***@gmail.com> wrote in message I'm sorry, but I forgot to put a work breakown at the top of the list.

The JSA as it is called, is most used in OH&S, but also effective here as there is considerable overlap in methodology. Incorporating JSA into the work breakdown is particularly important if you are building an application that is exposed to a public environment where criminals might seek to exploit a way of using your application to either tunnel through a 'firewall' (if they are already in the system) or otherwise subvert your application from outside. Examples include browsers and web publishing applications. You have quite a bit on your plate, so once again best of luck to you... -- Timothy Casey - Email: 5th-prime-num***@timothycasey.info Software: http://software-1011.com; Scientific IQ Test, Web Menus, Security http://web-design-1011.comhttp://speed-reading-comprehension.com Science & Geology: http://geologist-1011.com;http://geologist-1011.net "NAF" <nafly.if***@gmail.com> wrote in message That's a difficult task. Normally I would use AspPDF.net component(not free, news:uwsZ9R87JHA.4100@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > I decided to create a component (DLL file) for Converting Documents to PDF > (HTML,Reports,Documents,..

One way is to use Ghostscript, the other is checking a class called "clsPDFCreator" to see how to create a PDF in VB, but it doesn't include all features. For instance, parts of PDF files can be compressed(Zlib) to make the file smaller, but you don't need to do that, however, if you are reading PDF to extract text and images, then you have to add decompression support, otherwise you can't extract information from some PDF files. It's best to leave Office Documents out of it, unless you use automation(requires Word, etc. to be installed on the same machine), or use a component(nothing free), rather than parsing the files directly. clsPDFCreator for VB 2008 EE(The one without "VB" is for VB6): http://www.luigimicco.altervista.org/index.php?mod=20_shared/10_free http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostscript http://www.asppdf.net/ Web host that offers AspPDF.net($10/Month minimum): http://www.webecs.com/components.aspx http://www.webecs.com/hostplans.aspx Hi Nobody,
