Hi Ingo,
I am very eager to hear if anybody has been able to successfully use Quick PDF with Free Pascal. The source code itself will not compile with Free Pascal as it is as it depends on several Delphi classes which are not available in Free Pascal. We were able to get a subset of the source code to compile with Free Pascal after we cut out the Delphi only classes. It allowed us to generate a basic PDF. There are also other changes that might need to be made in order to handle any 64-bit related issues which need to be addressed for the FPC but not for Delphi. Really looking forward to hearing how other people have gone trying this... Cheers, - Rowan.

Hi Rowan!
But in Lazarus there's a function to convert a Delphi-project to FreePascal/Lazarus ... ;-) Cheers, Ingo |

Hi Rowan!
I've converted a Delphi-project and it runs without any further changes. I've not converted a QuickPDF-Delphi-project so far ;-) I'm working with Delphi 2007 and starting (a little bit) with Lazarus/FPC. I want to mix a bit 'cause with Lazarus/FPC i have Unicode and 64 bit and with D2007 not :-( Cheers, Ingo |

I was able to get a Lazarus project to compile, run, produce, and display a PDF using the ActiveX verison of the Quick PDF Library. Very nice!

Possibly off-topic, but may I say that I'd be glad to hear that quickpdf is evolving towards multi-platform as much as I love to hear about additional functionality.
In term of the later - functionality - quickpdf already offers tremendous scope! As many people here, I'm evaluating the long term - including the non W32 one - as much as the short one. No hurry of course I expect that covering a larger set of platforms - ideally a la chartdirector - would certainly be appreciated by quite a few users here. Am I wrong?

I do not think it is off topic at all :)
The moment you mention Lazarus it's "Write Once, Compile Anywhere" capability, the topic can stray to just about anywhere! I noticed that there is a Perl interface now available as well. They sure seem to be "going places" with the library! TJoe(J^) |

Nope, not off topic. We're looking at our options as far as multi-platform support goes. There are a few exciting possibilities. In short: we would like multi-platform support to be in Quick PDF's future, including mobile.
