PurePDF library 1.0 BETA

LuckyLuke · Post by **LuckyLuke** » Sat May 29, 2004 8:32 pm

Hi,

Based on the FPDF I created a PureBasic PDF Library.

The files can be downloaded at :
http://smollies.fateback.com/PurePDF.zip
and at : http://www.purearea.net

I'm still working on the reference manual.
Any comments are welcome.

Enjoy,

LuckyLuke

Hey Luke IÂ´m lucky
great work!!

I dontÂ´t want to be outrageous so allow me to ask this: Do you plan to publish the sources ?

ThankÂ´s a lot for the lib

Excellent work!

The only example that did not work was n.5, seems you're using another lib to make the compression? Zlib?

Hi!

Same for me: Number five doesn't work. But nevertheless you did a great job!

Did you write the library in Purebasic and compiled with Talbite or did you use C?

regards,
Christian

This works great! Thanks!

Tutorial number 5 did work for me. I had to install ZLib and ZLibWrapper.

I have one remark: I have a PDF tool that makes it possible to edit a PDF document. This tool can open all PDF's I have seen yet, but it can't open the PDF your tool produces. I also see that Adobe Acrobat Reader opens the PDF's saying "Rebuilding...". Do you use a different PDF structure than normal and could you change that?

Thanks for nice the comments.

Example 5 is using the ZLib and ZLibWrapper libraries.
I Used purebasic and Tailbite to create this lib.
I need to do some cleanup first of the sources before publishing the them.

The download file contains a reference manual now.

Have to go now. Icecream is waiting for me.

I still have some remarks about the PDF structure. I used a PDF analyzer and that crashed on reading your PDF's. All other PDF's are processed perfectly. May be you should have a look at it.

I did notice that when opening the pdf files, Acrobat Reader had to rebuild the file before opening them. It only does that on the files created with the lib. I'm using the latest Acrobat Reader.

I think there is an error in the generated PDF-Files.
In my tutorial1.pdf, the Offset to xref is not correct:

Code: Select all

startxref
888
%%EOF

this points to "startxref"
you must use the offset to "xref"

Code: Select all

startxref
663
%%EOF

An updated version that solves the startxref problem (wrong offset used

) can be found at :
