Wakillon, delete the Fonts directory from the Temp directory and run the script from the first post again!

[EDIT]I've had the same problem, and I realized that it was font-related

Tell me if it's working now!

Delete also the MPDF.dll from the temp directory! The script extract this dll in the temp dir and, if the script is runned again, it will not overwrite the dll!

That's because I don't want to extract it every time I write a pdf. 

Write back if it's ok now!

I have no problems!

If you have followed the steps I've wrote you above,

     1. Delete the %Temp%\Fonts

     2. Delete %Temp%\MPDF.dll

     3. Run the script from first post

then you should not have any problems too!

  

[EDIT] If somebody else tried this, please post if you had problems!

Also if you had none!

Change this

.Cell ($sText, $C[1], $C[2]+5, $C[3], 10)

to this

.Cell ($sText, $C[1], $C[2]+5, $C[3], 10, " ")

Line 543 is within the function _CellTableText and is called by the lines 318-322. Post these lines. Try to uncomment them first and run the script.

Where do you see comment ?

[taietel]

Sorry, I meant "comment" these lines! I'm trying to stop smoking and it's killing me!

[EDIT] This is a function I've made to write text in cells. _DrawTable() returns an array with every cell's coordonates (x,y,w,h). h is optional, since cell is expanded dynamically to bottom, according to text length. I'll double check it.

[EDIT] wakillon, I've checked and it's ok! What SO do you have? I'm on XP Pro sp3, 32bit

Script fails here using Win7 Pro:

If Not IsObj($obj) Then

MsgBox (0,"ERROR!","Can not register MPDF.dll...")

Exit

This line is failing:

Global $obj = ObjCreate("MPDFX.MPDF")

Where is the activeX object from?

Ok, i'm new to Win7, #requireadmin fixed it after deleting the dll.

Hi taietel

Great script, especially like the technique of embedding the DLL - Well Done!

Now for the silly noobie question..

However, I'm somewhat stumped on exactly how one uses this. I've run the script as is and as expected, the example page has been created. But how do I generate my own page? Is there anyway I can use this create a PDF creation service? I have a requirement where I'd like to take an RTF document and convert it to a PDF.

Thanks

[taietel]

IndyUK, sorry for answering so late.

If you want to generate your own page, see the example (accessing the MPDF object). You can not transform an RTF to PDF with this. What you can do (I actually use it for this) is, for example, to make a GUI with input boxes that user has to fill them, then, when he/she pushes a button, it outputs the report/form/application in pdf format. Or various tests randomly picked from a list, then converted to pdf after user has given the answers. Or ... there are a lot of possibilities!

If you want to convert RTF to PDF, you can use a PDF printer, or Office suite (Open Office has directly, MS Office > 2007 has on the menu - Save As -> PDF).
