If you are looking for a simple way to convert Notes/Domino documents into PDF, you may check out SWING PDF Converter for Lotus Notes.
It provides the out-of-the-box functionality for end-users, as well as the LotusScript API for developers. Does not require a printer driver to be installed nor DLL files.

Hi,
Try Domino PDF (from http://www.primeapple.com/ ).
It’s easy !!
Only one DLL to instal on server, and a LotusScript to call the library.
With differents parameters, you can convert to PDF several URL ressources …

Hi Dick.
I am interested in learning the way you implemented PDF Creation from NotesDocument to PDF file.
Please send me a copy of the script at agcabutotan@yahoo.com.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Gerald

you may also consider ePDF Server for Domino - see:http://www.epdf.com/s.nl/it.I/id.41/.f?sc=13&category=-113
it is a commercial software, and I am representing the vendor, GROUPWARE, Inc.
It is a genuine Domino add-in server task that print-like renders any Notes document and any attachment into PDF - it does NOT (like other commercial solutions) export to word or html first, but actually renders directly to PDF. The Notes document can be located on any Notes server in your environment and do not have to be replicated or have to reside the Domino server that hosts the ePDF software.
best regards

Greetings,Any suggestions on this will be very helpful.
I am converting (printing) notes docs to PDF. I have been able to do this using the UI classes, but when I print each document a “Save As” dialog box pops up asking the user to enter a file name.
I need to print all the documents in a specific view without the “Save As” window appreaing. I am doing this in vb.net using latebinding.
Following is the code I have so far.
Sub PrintDocToPDF(byVal notesDoc as Domino.NotesDocument)
Dim WSObj As Object
Dim UIDBObj As Object
Dim DBObj As Object
Dim DocObj As Object
notesUIWorkspaceType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID(“Notes.NotesUIWorkspace”)
WSObj = Activator.CreateInstance(notesUIWorkspaceType)
UIDBObj = notesUIWorkspaceType.InvokeMember(“CurrentDatabase”, Reflection.BindingFlags.GetProperty, Nothing, WSObj, Nothing)
DBObj = notesUIWorkspaceType.InvokeMember(“Database”, Reflection.BindingFlags.GetProperty, Nothing, UIDBObj, Nothing)
Dim args1() As Object = {CType(notesDoc.UniversalID, System.Object)}
DocObj = notesUIWorkspaceType.InvokeMember(“GetDocumentByUNID”, Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, Nothing, DBObj, args1)
Dim args2() As Object = {CType(False, System.Object), CType(DocObj, System.Object), CType(True, System.Object), CType(“”, System.Object), CType(True, System.Object), CType(False, System.Object)}
Dim resObj As Object
resObj = notesUIWorkspaceType.InvokeMember(“EditDocument”, Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, Nothing, WSObj, args2)
Dim nc As Int16 = 1
Dim args3() As Object = {CType(nc, System.Object)}
Dim res1Obj As Object
res1Obj = notesUIWorkspaceType.InvokeMember(“PRINT”, Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, Nothing, resObj, args3)
Dim res2Obj As Object
Dim args4() As Object = {CType(res1Obj, System.Object)}
res2Obj = notesUIWorkspaceType.InvokeMember(“CLOSE”, Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, Nothing, resObj, args4)
End Sub
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I figured it out eventually. It was a setting in my Adobe Print Driver where I can disable the pop up from showing up and also disable the preview of the converted document from showing up.
Thanks.

Hi
There’s a whole load of way to do that - all depends on how you want to do it:
-
If you want it exactly as it appears on screen, then probably the easiest option is something like pdf995 (www.pdf995.com) which allows you to use a vritual printer. You select it as your printer and it saved the printed output as a PDF, rather than on paper. THere’s loads of other software that does this too.
-
If you want coding access to it, i.e. to build PDF’s which don’t neccessarily look like the notes docs, you can use iText (Entreprenerd — The Book about iText) which is an opensource java library for creating PDFs. We use this in a number of our own applications, with great results.
-
If XML/XSL is your thing, Apache FOP is a good one which can uses XSL:FO to build a PDF by translating an XML version of a notes document into a PDF via a stylesheet.

Subject: Lotus notes to PDF file conversion → use “PDFCreator 0_8”
I yo suggere to use “PDFCreator 0.8” i’ts a free software and all my users use this in the society .
PDFCreator (written in only one word, to not confuse it with its homonym “PDF Creator”, written in two words, which, is not a free software) is a German project which allows to very easily transform printable files into pdf files (via Postscript format).
For that:
choose originate document,
launch printing via the PDFCreator virtual printer,
choose document name to create in pdf format…
And this software will do the job!
Obtained result, even if hyperlinks don’t works in it, is very close from originate document.
Last but not least, PDFCreator includes many setting which will enable you to manage created document size or the Acrobat Reader version for compatibility purpose.
A very good software which however seems to be systems resources greedy, thus avoid to launch too much others softwares when PDFCreator is in action.
Dowload it and tr it , it is the best of file conversion pdf file and i’ts free !!!

It’s is possible.

Kieran’s options from the previous post are all good ones, but there are a few more:
-
A friend wrote a script file which batch printed thousands of notes documents to PDFs using Adobe Distiller for archival purposes.
-
If you’re more interested in the data and want to present it in a tabular format somewhat like a Notes view, you can write a LotusScript agent to obtain the data from Notes and position titles, headings, footers, data, page counts, etc. wherever you want them on a PDF page. I wrote a generic agent a few years ago, callable from a web page, which read a configuration document and then generated the reports on the fly. It is pretty nifty and frequently used in the company I was consulting for.

would you be willing to send me the code that is used to create PDF docs from Lotus Notes docs???
PLEASE
Subject: RE: Lotus notes to PDF file conversion
Hi Dick,
Can I have a copy of the code also.
Thanks in advance
Subject: RE: Lotus notes to PDF file conversion
Hi Dick,
your code could solve many problems!
Could you send me a copy of your scripts?
Tanks a lot.

If at all possible (and I know it’s been a few months since this thread was active) can I get the sample code too? I’m going crazy.
Subject: RE: Lotus notes to PDF file conversion
Hi Dick,You’re probably regretting this post due to all the responses, but I’m in the same boat with everybody else. Would you please send me a copy of the script and save me hours of time on this project,
Thanks for any help,

Hi Dick,I’ve a similar requirement where Notes documents need to be exported to a PDF file. Can you please send the code which you had written for such application? It would be of great help if you can send it. My mail id is janani007@gmal.com
I know am very late in asking the code… nearly after 3 years. But I hope you would send it. Thanks in advance
