VB6 - Writing PDFs

[MorkenTheMonk]

I've a project which writes to the default Windows Printer using Printer.Print, Printer.EndDoc, etc. We use a 3rd party app such as doPDF or PDF Creator to grab the print-queue and create PDFs when required.

Anyone any experience of creating PDF output directly from VB6? I know we could use setdefaultprinter API call to set the print driver to one of the PDF-writers, but wondered whether there was a way to write directly to PDF?

Thanks in advance.

I believe Microsoft Word will export directly to a PDF.

That is a fantastic resource. Will take quite a bit of work to squeeze it into my project (using lots of Printer.DrawStyle, Printer.Line, Printer.CurrentX/Y calls) but I'll have a wee go at creating some transition functions (e.g. take my .DrawStyle call and convert it to your .PDFSetLineStyle).

Thanks Gibra

Some members from this forum are trying to find a way to preserve the content of PSC, see this thread:

this is the file of PDF Printer Class by NeO78 (from psc cd)
PDF_Printer.zip

but now that I have tried it, the antivirus marks me as a virus.
I think I remember that it worked without problems for a long time.

We've had a PDF printer driver in Windows for a long time now.
