I need to create a pdf for every document in one of our systems. I’ve looked on the forum(s) but every solution I can find is converting html → pdf, or ‘painting’ a new pdf. I simply(hmm) want the document to be printed to pdf.
Oh I forgot to mention there are just over 1,000,000 documents (muhahahahah - sorry Dr Evil moment) to be converted. Any ideas, hint, tips, anything??
Thanks in advance, and Happy Xmas
Phil.

I just finished a similar project. My docs contained OLE objects so what I had to do was write an agent to loop through all documents in a view and use the @Export command to export the opened document to a RTF file. I then used e-PDF Document Converter to convert the RTF’s to PDF.
Hope that helps.

You may want to try PDFCreator. I don’t know if if it can handle thousands of docs though. There are plenty of PDF converter too (i’ve intalled and used AbLib eXpress Server for numerous customers).
A long time ago, in a far far away galaxy, i’ve used iText, which is fine but requires a lot of XSL writing and solid knowledge of it.
HTH
