Have a look at TRichEdit5 class ( triched5.prg in \samples\classes ) METHOD SaveToPDF( cName, cFile, lView ).

Dear Cristobal,

I have a problem with the oRTF:SaveToPdf(...) Method of TRichEdit5 Class.
It is creating the PDF, but the contents of the PDF File are blurry and not
readable as shown in the picture here.



Pleease help me.

Dear Ramesh
The image is not visible.
Please put your image or send me your file pdf

Dear Cristobal,

The image I have posted above is the exact PDF generated
using the "TESTRTF5.PRG" under FWH\Samples.

The Menu Path used to generated the PDF is "File -> To RTF".
And the RTF file is "TESTRTF.RTF"

You can try it yourself.

Create and hide control ?

This is an attempt to use RichEdit5 control to silently convert RTF to PDF without displaying the control.

#include "fivewin.ch"

   local oWnd, oBar

   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd TITLE "MY APPLICATION"

   DEFINE BUTTON OF oBar PROMPT "RTFTOPDF" ;

      return .f.

   DEFAULT cPDF := cRTF, lOpen := .t.
   cPDF  := cFileSetExt( cPDF, "pdf" )

return File( cPDF )

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to convert a RTF file into a PDF File. I already tried all your code suggestions and it now I'm able to preview it.
Everything works, except that I got some tables in the RTF File, and I don't know why the convertion to PDF is affecting the columns alignment.
Does anybody know what's happening?
