Hi Marco,
Victor K wrote a pdf library for use with Clipper. I have used it
successfully.

Marco,
Yes, there are later versions, 0.7 and 0.8. I don't think that Victor
has released the last version (0.8) yet. Version 0.8 was produced to
solve a memory problem that I exposed with a very large colour
graphics report. Version 0.8 worked perfectly and Victor was told
that.
Within the pdf.prg file there is a list of the function names and
parameters in a single block towards the end of the file.
If you send me an email I will send you a a sample package of mine.

Ross McKenzie

Any hints what to look for in 0.7?

Hi Victor.
You have moved ! No wonder I could not find you. Had a small melt down
here and lost many email addresses...have yours again now. Will send
the sample report code via email.

Hopefully you're not quite as bad as DNA was for meeting deadlines. ;)

That, and Dr. Who is back. I dare say that many DNA fans will be Doctor
fans; not only are they clearly somewhat related in style, but DNA
himself wrote for Dr. Who in the past, didn't he?
Now here's hoping that the Beeb don't move it to BBC bloody Three (which
I don't get) after two episodes.

Aye, I'll be pulling the sofa away from the wall at 7pm tomorrow evening. ;)

Yes, he did. The story also goes that the Dirk Gently books, at least the
first one, started life as a story for Dr. Who.

Shame, Three and Four are where most of the good BBC output appears to be
these days.

*Sigh* Don't I know it. I'd probably have to get either a satelite dish
or an expensive cable subscription (paying mostly for the porn, sports,
and cheesy film channel, naturally) to get them. I'd curse the BBC, but
I'm afraid that would only result in QI and University Challenge being
moved (exclusively) to Three as well.

The library defaults to "WinAnsiEncoding" (see the pdfClosePage()
function) which is equal to CP1252. It is my understanding from
studying the PDF Reference manual that if you need a different
codepege (1250 ?) you will have to specify the differences in an
encoding dictionary that you include in the PDF file.
You can download the PDF Reference from Adobe's web site.
