Save a report (or text file) in pdf format?

Hi,
I like to save a kind of log file in a non changeable format like pdf.
I'm using the DSC module under LabVIEW are there some possibilities?
Or is there a chance to save text file into a postscript file?
Thanks for help,
martin

Hallo Martin,
to be able to write to a PDF file you need some extra software that is able to create those files.
Most of those programs are installing themselves as printer drivers, so if you want to wrate a table into a pdf file you will have to create a report and print it. LabVIEW insrtalls a couple of exaples regarding report generation, online I found an example for "printing" the frontpanel screen into a PDF.

Convert a text file to PDF format

Hi,
How can I convert a text(.txt) to a excel file using Powershell commands ?
At the moment I am doing the conversion with VBA, but time consuming, as its a very big file.
Kindly help.
MIG.

There are other ways around the txt to pdf. Without seeing how the txt file looks it makes it a little hard to help but below is a great link that talks about how you can use the com objects.
http://wiki.coolorange.com/display/powerjobs/Convert+office+documents+to+Pdf
If the log file is something you need in excel I would first work on converting the file to CSV and then you can use excel or if its something you can use word with I would rename the file to docx so the com object picks it up. If you can share one of the
files it would be a big help.
There is also a dll you can use that is great with working with pdf files below is the link. I you are okay with downloading a third party dll this is a great tool.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/
Searching The Forum I found the below link that is exactly what your looking for using the itextsharp dll to create pdf file from text files.

Hope this helps

Setting Font for converting multiple text files into PDF using VB 6.0

Dear All,
Am converting multiple text files into PDF using VB6.0. Currently, am unable to control the font face and size for the generated files. Below is the procedure am using for each file;
Public Sub proc_convert_to_PDF(srcFilename As String, destFilename As String)
Dim p_AcroApp As CAcroApp
Dim p_VDoc As CAcroAVDoc
Dim p_DDoc As CAcroPDDoc
Dim IsOk As Boolean
Set p_AcroApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
Set p_VDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
Call p_VDoc.Open(srcFilename, "")
Set p_VDoc = p_AcroApp.GetActiveDoc
If p_VDoc.IsValid Then
Set p_DDoc = p_VDoc.GetPDDoc
' Fill in pdf properties.
p_DDoc.SetInfo "Title", Format(Date, "dd-mm-yyy")
p_DDoc.SetInfo "Subject", srcFilename
If p_DDoc.Save(1 Or 4 Or 32, destFilename) <> True Then
MsgBox "Failed to save " & srcFilename
End If
p_DDoc.Close
End If
'Close the PDF
p_VDoc.Close True
p_AcroApp.Exit
'Clear Variables
Set p_DDoc = Nothing
Set p_VDoc = Nothing
Set p_AcroApp = Nothing
End Sub
What I need;
1) to be able to set the font face of the destination file ( destFilename)
2) to be able to set the font size of the destination file ( destFilename)
Am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Type Library
Kindly Help.
Thanks in advance

We didn't say it doesn't work. We said it isn't supported.
There are a number of other ways to make a PDF. The one which would
give the most control is if your application directly printed to GDI,
controlling the font directly. This could print to Adobe PDF.
You could look for an application that gives control of font for
printing.
You could use a text-to-PostScript system and distill the result. You
could even look for a non-Adobe text-to-PDF.
Working in the unsupported and dangerous world you chose, the font
size for text conversion is set (and this is very bad design from
Adobe) in the settings for Create PDF > From Web Page. There is no API
to this.

How to generate reports in text file without totals

Hi!!!
Does anybody knows how can I generate a report in text file
(separated by |), but without the lines with totalizations ?
In my application, the user can choose if he wants the output
in HTML,PDF or a text file. So, the solution to this question
must be implemented in code.
Thanks a lot,
Anderson.

If you put a formatting trigger on any item or frame and return FALSE, it will disappear.
So the totals need to be within a frame which has a trigger which returns false if text file is chosen.

Help!How to convert a plenty of doc files to pdf format?

System: windows xp
Software: Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0
I'm tired of repeatedly click open,convert,save,close to convert a large quantity of doc files to pdf format.Is there any easy way to do this? Is there any kind of plugin or batch command provided to this software?

Turn off the view in Acrobat option in the Adobe PDF printer and then just drag and drop them on the printer. You may have to figure out where to send them or accept the default, again an option in the printer.

Please, I need help - How can I generate a text file with Word format?

Hello friends at www.oracle.com ,
is it possible for me to create a text file - that is, with TEXT_IO.fopen, and so on - that's already formatted as a Word document?
We have a Forms program here, where it's needed to generate a text file with .RTF format, 8 centimeters margin, Times New Roman font, with size 7.
Best regards,
Franklin Goncalves Jr.

Hello Shay,
sincere thanks for your answer. And, to answer your last question, I'm using client-server model.
Since I couldn't create this .RTF file by using built-ins like TEXT_IO, I tried to generate an .RTF file using Reports, passing the parameters DESTYPE, DESNAME and DESFORMAT, as shown below.
add_parameter (pl_id, 'DESTYPE', text_parameter, 'FILE');
add_parameter (pl_id, 'DESNAME', text_parameter, 'c:\franklin.rtf');
add_parameter (pl_id, 'DESFORMAT', text_parameter, 'RTF');
However, the just generated .RTF file is uncomprehensible. After opening the file at Microsoft Word, I can see the following message at the top of file:
This file was created by Oracle Reports. Please view this document in Page Layout mode.
... and informations doesn't appear as desired.
If I can't generate such text format by using TEXT_IO, and if generating an .RTF file through Reports shows me an incomprehensible result, how can I export the selected result to an .RTF file?
When Reports is opened, choosing Generate to file -> RTF doesn't export anything.
Thanks, and best regards,
Franklin Goncalves Jr.

Cant generate my help file into .pdf format

Hi All
I cant't generate my help file into .pdf format for printed documentation. My .pdf option is not enabled. How do I get it enabled? I am on version 8.
I am following the instructions in help.
thanks
Caryn

Peter,
Please find my comments inline:
If I understand you coIf I understand you correctly, any of the Acrobat 8 or greater versions can generate a PDF with the comments feature. Correct please?
Absolutely!
That means that one person must have a paid for version of Acrobat, ommenting cannot be initiated by users of Acrobat Reader, the latter only enables you to comment on a PDF that has been created in a paid for version. Correct please
Yes, the commenting has to be inititated or rather the person with the paid version installed has to assign rights to the reviewers. Only then the assigned persons will receive emails in their inboxes that the document is set for review.
