wPDFControl V3.06
A PDF Component
Use this powerful DLL to create full-featured PDF files directly from your application. Can be used for .NET or in Visual Basic.
The underlying PDF engine wPDF is well-established and widely used - wPDFControl makes this engine available for VB, VC, .NET etc. wPDFControl can be used a PDF OCX, in Visual Fox Pro (PDF VFP) as versatile PDF solution. wPDFControl creates compact PDF files.

The DLL and OCX provide you with a powerful API to create PDF files which can include links, outlines, thumbnails, graphics, etc. You can use a graphic device handle (DC) which is compatible to the usual printing code. There's no need to convert the code you currently use in order to create PDF files!
To use this DLL in VB, just add the OCX library wPDF_X01 to your toolbox. Then you can create a PDFControl object on your form.
It can be then used as follows to export a metafile from an image object:
If PDFControl1.StartEngine ("c:\wpPDFControl\DLL\wPDFControlDemo.dll", "LicenseName", "LicenseCode", 0) = True Then
PDFControl1. BeginDoc "c:\test.pdf", 0
PDFControl1. DrawMetafile Image1.Picture.Handle, 0, 0, 0, 0
PDFControl1. EndDoc
Else
MsgBox "We were not able to load the PDF Engine DLL", 0, "Error!"
End If
If you want to export a file you can also use:
PDFControl1. DrawBitmapFile 0, 0, 0, 0, EMFFileName
Please note that you have to use the command StartPage to exprt bitmaps or use drawing commands which use the PDF engine's device handle (DC).
You have to execute StartEngine and set the path of the PDF DLL. This way it is possible to have different PDF engines on your system without having to worry about conflicting versions. We are also able to customize the DLL for you, upon your request.
