PDF Document

Hello!

Is there any way different to MBS DynaPDF Plugin to create PDF documents?

Please

Thank You

on Mac you can use our plugin with CoreGraphics or PDFKit. Or the declares for the functions.
Those are frameworks delivered by Apple with Mac OS X.

Hello!

Thank you, i need both windows and MAC, i am reading the documentation about the functions its complicated…
i mean what i need to do first, the procedure, 1,2,3,4, imagine that i have a recordset and i want to put that information into a PDF file, could you explain me with your own words how is it?

Thank you!

You can email me about details. But first I think you may want to check the examples.

one that creates pdf opensource
try it and tell me your opinion

library PDF

Watch for your answers

Claudia, you would maybe best use our new table class in DynaPDF to put a record on pages of PDF. The tables can span over several pages which makes it very easy.

Hi Christian,

PDFKit works as well on iOS or not ? I need that for iOS version .

Thanks

It is at time like these that the stupid 4 character minimum search criteria in this forum really gets annoying.

There are dozens of posts about how to create PDFs without DynaPDF (Christian has a vested interest in DynaPDF, and its really good, but he won’t want to spend long looking for ways to help you not buy it… :> )
So bizzarely I had to resort to Google.

Try gPDF by Dave S

or

https://www.bkeeney.com/allproducts/pdf-classes/ (not on sale now apparently, but maybe if you ask nicely)

or

Thanks Jeff,

unfortunately bkeeney are discontinued, the tobyrush is very old and I really need for something to enable the IOS 11 native functionality to be able to create pdfs on the iPad, unfortunately all goes very slow and they have big issues with the framework for the moment so I don’t think in the near future will be something to be improved or changed on the IOS part .

Thanks again.

Plugins don’t run on iOS due to to missing SDK.
So you can use my DynaPDF Plugin only on the server side.

Well unfortunately I will try to depend as less as possible from the server side and in the worst case on the server side (MAC) I can directly save as PDF so no need for plugins.

I did see the documentation from apple where it gives all but I`m still confuse with this declares and iOS part so I was thinking maybe somebody else invented the wheel so I don’t need to doit again. But if that’s the case I will try to read about it and try to have that based on the docs.

Thanks again.

Einhugur (dot com) has a pdf plugin

But still not iOS so not helpful, thanks anyway

Well for iOS you may need to look into the declares for CoreGraphics to create a PDF.
Maybe you can take a few classes from Mac projects and change declares.

So did you look into gPDF?
It’s native Xojo code, not a plugin as far as I know.

Well so far I don’t see any download link just a document and a link to buy it and as Christian said you do need to use declares to reference those parts in iOS

I have found this link useful for Mac…
