[faxpay]

In vb6 I want to convert a text file(assci file) to the pdf format. I need to manipulate and massage the file in vbscript first. Is ther a pdf converter I can use in vb6?

I just checked it out - it works pretty slick (with a few easy fixes).


Have fun.

I tried using different fonts like Arial Bold and the program ran but when I tried to open up the output PDF it would not open due to errors.

There's a couple other versions out there if you Google for them. I grabbed one a long time ago and don't remember the link but it worked pretty well.

They probably all have little quirks. You get what you pay for

I'm still trying to figure out if you are interested in VBScript or in VB6

strongm,

Do you know of a way to take text from a text file and convert it to a PDF format using VB6. If so, I am very interested. I have the full version of Adobe and someone has written a program that uses the printer object and they are printing the file to a PDF but they would like the promopt not to appear. We really don't want to buy an additional application to do this. Any suggestions?

strongm,

I am in VB6 using vbscript to massage a text file. Then want to convert the text file to a pdf after massaging. Can I do all this from VB6?

BTW, since this thread has made a reappearance, if you've got Word 2007 (and have got hold of Microsoft's Office 97 SaveAsPDFandXPS addin, which they bizarrely didn't ship on the DVD) it's as simple as:

ActiveDocument.ExportAsFixedFormat OutputFileName:= "<filename>", ExportFormat:=wdExportFormatPDF
