PDF Module available?

Hi peeps,

I've had a nosy, and, there doesnt seem to be one available, hopefully I'm proven wrong, so, I might as well ask if there is such a thing tucked out of the way people know about... Be dead handy! :)

Hey Dabz, you can try cairo.mod as it seems to support some pdf features:

Thanks very much Ron matey!

Well do you know what it is Ron... How stupid is me...

I had a quick look in my mods folder to see if I had BaH in there all ready because I'm using the wx mod in another project, and you will never guess what I stumbled on in there...

Only bloody $BLITZMAX_ROOT$\mod\text.mod\pdf.mod

Face palm

happens to the best of us, so no worries.. at least you finally got it sorted out.

First time I heard about that text.mod and it's not even included in the bah.mod's repo now. Interesting.

I know, lol, I just spied the text mod, thought "I wonder whats in here", and there she was... PDF.mod! :D

I was like "Well would you believe that!" Hehehe

Right under me nose all the time! :P

Anyway, it does what I need, after a play... Just to note though, I had to remove the line:-

pdf.SetCompressionMode(EPDFCompressionMode.COMP_ALL)

To get the text example to run, seems to complain about "EPDFCompressionMode.COMP_ALL"

Dabz

good catch and thanks for sharing that info, in case someone ran into that same issue. cheers.

Hiya Ron,

Just got back from holiday, one has been to Bodrum in Turkey for the week... Back to reality [AKA work] tomorrow!

So yeah, no worries me auld fruit!
