Thanks Max, but the basic problem not is solve for redmon. This is only one redirection tool.
I need save in disk one document built for the aplication (Invoice)and sent this to one automatic fax system as attach documento to e-mail in format TXT, DOC, RTF, XLS, PPT, PDF, TIF, TIFF or XIF.
The best solution is TIF or TIFF, but PB don't suport this format.
Another solution is PDF, but acrobat is very expensive 309 Euros in Spain, TXT and DOC is invalid format because I need grafics. XLS and RTF same problem.

I need help for this.

Thanks in avance to all.

Manolo,

I use a product called pdfFactory http://www.fineprint.com
that installs itself as another printer on your
system. When you choose it as your 'printer output' it
creates a pdf file. It's cheap and works very well. Check
out their demo.

Just for the record, ImageViewer saves Tiff if you have GdiPlus installed.

Hm, did I get you right?

You have an application that creates a document, prints it to a file, convert it to another type (like PDF, TIFF, etc.) and then send it to another application?

If so, then I can say you... I use RedMon... and that pipes to GhostScript. http://www.ghostscript.com/doc/gnu/index.htm

Usually I use it to create PDF files of invoices and such to be sent via email, but it also supports other formats like TIFF.

I hope I understood you right and could help you. Else disregard my reply...

Max.

Edit: Following the thread it seems that is a kind of program you are looking for. GNU GhostScript is under the GNU Public License - thus free at no fee - and in conjunction with RedMon very flexible. There is also

"Ghostscript API programming examples
Ghostscript is available as a DLL on Windows and a shared library on Linux. The documentation for the DLL/shared library API is in API.htm."

on this site: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/gsapi.htm

Sorry Manolo, I didn't know there was a VB API.

I'll look into it when I get some time.
