All my tutorial examples fail.

Says
Error: The following PureLibrary is missing: LibraryExtension

PB4. What am I missing?

@TerryHough,

I think the library is coded with PB ver. 3.94 .

In the moment, there is no lib for PB4, but you can use the include by Flype:

just to inform that PurePDF 2.05 for PB4.01 is available.

all the stuff can be downloaded here, on the ABBKlaus homepage.
http://www.purebasicpower.de/?PDFBarcode

and a question to the author(s) :

is possible to add this procedure to the PDFMisc userlibrary ?

Code: Select all

Procedure pdf_IncludeFileJS(FileName.s)
  
  Protected file.l, source.s
  
  file = ReadFile(#PB_Any, FileName)
  
  If file
    source = Space(Lof(file))
    If ReadData(file, @source, Lof(file))
      pdf_IncludeJS(source)
    EndIf
    CloseFile(file)
  EndIf
  
EndProcedure

hello, another question

is it possible to generate a PDF document and then print it directly on the default printer without opening the Acrobat Reader interface ?

Hi Flype,

uploaded the new version (version stays at V2.05) ->PurePDF V2.05<-

new command :
pdf_IncludeFileJS(FileName.s)

is it possible to generate a PDF document and then print it directly on the default printer without opening the Acrobat Reader interface ?

i would say no

cannot find anything suitable for PurePDF so it can stay multiplatform

i tried with Acrobat Reader but the window stays open when finished printing a PDF file. And Freak´s method http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=9927 isn´t working with PDF´s

(not Freak´s fault its Adobe

)

But when you find anything i will add it.

Regards Klaus

ok, thank you for the answer - and the update.

so, at the moment, i include this very big javascript snippet :

Code: Select all

print(true);

but this one open the document in Acrobat Reader, once loaded it open the print dialog. 2 mouse clicks saved. but, well, that's not what i'm really looking for.

maybe i should use your PrinterLib which seems to be very useful.
does your PrinterLib supports antialiased texts and drawings ?

How does it work? I can't find it in the help file.

ABBKlaus · Post by **ABBKlaus** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 9:06 pm

There is no need to mention it in the helpfile

(btw i don´t have the source file of the help [@Luke can you send?])
Just use the old syntax :

Code: Select all

pdf_SetFont("Tahoma","",12)

there is only one thing left to say

when there is no matching font for the style found (for 'Tahoma' this is italic) the default font is used (in this case 'Tahoma' Regular)

*B.TTF = Bold Font
*BD.TTF = Bold Italic Font
*I.TTF = Italic Font
