Hi,
I have used the pdf library with a lot of success. Many thanks.
In one application I have a full page background picture over which I print text and also place a logo, which is in PNG format. This works very well except I cannot find how to make the borders to the logo transparent, so my logo appears in a rectangular white box. The docs for pdf_Image() say that I need to specify a transparent colour, but I don't know how to do this. Can it be done with MS Paint or Paint.net?
Any suggestions are most welcome.
RichardL

i think the documenation is wrong on that part because it says :
but are not supported:
- interlacing
- alpha channel

Regarding the images I have some questions and ideas:
- Is it possible to add a paperless format or is something like this already implemented?
- We can add images by full filename or memory address, I think it would be good to just pass a PureBasic ImageNr as well. Is there a restriction or could this be done easily?
- How can I add an image so that it always fits best the paper size and without loss of resolution?

How to change a space between lines in PurePDF? I want to change a space between lines in document with PurePDF but i cannot find a way to do it. I used Chunk and Paragraph for output text but they haven't any properties to change space between lines. Please help.
Sorry for my bad English =)

With this PurePDF it could look like this :
Code: Select all
pdf_Create()
pdf_AddPage()
pdf_SetMargins(30,10,30)
pdf_SetFont("Arial","",12)
txt$ = "Test"
pdf_SetX(30)
pdf_Write(5,txt$)
pdf_Ln(4)
pdf_Write(5,txt$)
pdf_Ln(5)
pdf_Write(5,txt$)
pdf_Ln(6)
pdf_Write(5,txt$)
pdf_Ln(7)
pdf_Write(5,txt$)
pdf_Save("Test.pdf")
But i guess you are looking for the purepdf Flash/Actionscript library for creating PDF files

I downloaded this version, but the Help file for it says it's V2.08 still.
Also, got a question: I used this code to add a very tall image (5000 pixels high) to a new PDF file, but the image only went on the first page, and not continued over any next pages. How could I do that?
Code: Select all
pdf_Create()
pdf_AddPage()
pdf_Image("1280x5000.png",0,0,200)
pdf_Save("test.pdf")

Is it possible to open a PDF with this lib and save the doc as plain text back to disk?

Hi, I just tested this lib and I find it very useful, but I am unable to create a PDF with an RTF file and its formatting. Is this possible? and if yes, how to do that? Thanks.

I've tried outputing unicode text using PurePDF and although it writes the ascii characters correctly, the unicode characters out of the normal ascii range are not displayed.
Is this a bug or a known restriction?
