We currently use the Amyuni library... and am contemplating moving...

Does this library have a capability to emulate a printer driver so we can feed text, graphics, etc., into a "DC" that then can be used to render the PDF, in the same way this would be done using Amyuni (or CutePDF, etc.) ?

Or in other words, use the library as if it was a printer driver?

Thank you.

Hi Will and welcome to the QuickPDF Forum.
 
That feature/capability is not currently available with the QuickPDF Library.

Thanks for the reply. Actually I am very interested in trying to avoid going through a printer driver and have a library that creates a PDF directly. (To avoid all the compatibility hassles involved with installing printers.)

I noticed there is a functions such as getCanvasDC() and LoadFromCanvasDC()... The doc's say:

Creates a canvas of the specified size and returns a Windows device context DC that can be drawn on using Win32 drawing commands. When drawing operations are complete, call the LoadFromCanvasDC function to create a new document from the supplied drawing commands.

In principle, then, can I create one of these DC's, use the standard WinAPI to write my output, just as if I was preparing as printer page, but then pass the result back to this library for creation of the PDF? Hence no need for a printer driver?

If so, are there any code examples or tips on how to do this? Thanks.

I can give you 2 more avenues of research.

1. The demo app that is on the QuickPDFLibrary website.
http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/blog/2009/10/a-customizable-demo-for-quick-pdf-library/

2. Use the search function for the forum. There has been numerous topics dealing with the canvas functions.
