Just a quick update.

I have now downloaded and am using FreePDF works fine on Windows 7. Also found PrimoPDF another PDF printer that also converts files to PDF. Thanks for the push in the right direction to all.

Working on adding a print routine to the mortgage programme and found a couple of little niggles. text is not printed where you tell it to print and lines look quite ugly on the preview window.

Fixed the text one just fixing the lines will post here when done.

Thanks to all.

Kind Regards

Hi All

Fixed the text and lines.

Using PrimoPDF is great shows me what is happening so i have been able to fix the two little problems. Now uploaded.

I have also added a print routine to the loan calculator here http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 27&t=67668

which allows you to print the amortization table from the listicongadget. A bit rough but should help anyone wanting to print a grid of data.

The CDPrint module from here has now been added to the texteditor from keya and the PhotoDB.

So there are examples now of printing text files, images and grids.

If anyone can improve them please feel free to do so just share the improvements with the forum.

Kind Regards

Great stuff.

Thanks for this people.
Yeah I know, but keep in mind ... Leonardo da Vinci was also an autodidact.
