Save notes documents as PDF
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had a solution for saving notes documents as PDF files?
Im looking for a programmatic way of manipulating this, dont want to let the users specify paths and printers etc.
Id also like to avoid using the Adobe Acrobat Writer if at all possible!

Amit,
Sorry to reject your answer, but im sure there must be a way.
Ive seen references to it in the Notes API, and I imagine its possible to generate a PDF file using the PDF API.
I just want to know if anyone has had any luck doing it!

I think I must agree with Amit. There seems to be no way to dynamically generate PDF's without Adobe Distiller or Adobe Acrobat (no reader).
But I guess Notes F/X is something to be given a thought to . . . . .
Hello,
I have generated PDF output directly from a agent. But it's very hard.
First of all, there are two formats (and many versions) of PDF: zipped and plain ASCII.
If you are playing with Destila you can generate the unzipped PDF.
So...
Now that means do this:
1.) Make your formular and produce a ASCII PDF.
2.) Identify your static parts and filds you want to be set by script
3.) Compose the output with this header: "Content-Type=application/ pdf"
Please note: after contet type you nead a new line and then the PDF content. Do not worry about the index following your PDF data. Browsers PDF display addin ignores this errors in index.
Try first with some simple forms...

how many points can you, Arunkumar and amit_dutta, offer to get the DLL driver in C sourcecode to make such lookups anywhere @DBLookup is allowed:
@DbLookup("xldap";"LDAPser verName":3 89;[bindDN :bindPW];[ baseDN];"c n=filter*" ;["retItem 1":"retIte m2":...]);
It is a standard db driver with embeded LDAP search in 800 lines of code. I have made it run on client and server for WinNT and S/390.
I wnat to get this Wizz shirt and I have only 10000 points...

You can also get a good job when you have ONLY 10000 points :-)
I already have a super job.
PDF is a sole copyright product of Adobe and u require to Adobe Acrobat to create PDF files. So there is no alternative other than using Adobe Acrobat Writer.
Best wishes
