HI,

I dont't think so. Txt-Files with images?

What about PDF-Writer?

I think there are several free tools doing that job.

So long,

MSWord2007beta maybe?

hi autosc

if you are using SciTe have you tried File/Export/as PDF

Rauto

[nitekram]

That is cool - but it only allows txt unless I missed the inport function - I also tried to clip a print screen and paste, but it was greyed out. Anyone know how to import a PIC?

Hi,

There is a site which tells of Open Office conversions to pdf, which would do what you want, I think;

OOO conversion formats

There is a COM handling au3 script available on the forum showing how to put XLS into pdf using OOO;

OOOXML

File Conversion through OpenOffice, Convert Spreadsheets to HTML or PDF

Try that? [have to intall ooo first, of course....]

Randall !

It was a good idea .....

The script works from a command line .....

What i want to do is to convert text/doc files to PDF using objcs and autoit.

forex, i Can open /convert text/doc files to Html with autoit ...

Is There a short way to convert Html to Pdf ? EXample please

I use Virtual PDF Printer.

It adds a virtual printer to your PC, so when you "print" with that printer, it saves it as a PDF file.

Hi,

Here is a [was working at the time...] script I wrote without command line; takes xls file to pdf inside autoit; I imagine you could do the same with an html file, but I don't have ooo installed at present to test it.

Office97 is free at present in beta till February, so you could do object commands with that too.

PS - it works with html to pdf , but

1. Opens OOO

2. gives "error" when shuts down with ooo2;

let me know if yoiu rtesearch it and fix it.

Randall !

It was a good idea to use the ooo . I reinstalled the ooo writer and testd to run your Script ,

but i am geting error on line 23 .

error: the requested action with this object has failed .

[randallc]

Hi,

Not sure its worth it unles you think you can fix the script;

but I added SDK install as well from the download site;

have you done that?

You need to download the program. I would get the full package and also the SDK if you plan on doing any programming wit

WFCBest, randall

Hi Randall !

I have downloaded everything including the SDK , ant tried to run your Example which converts the Excel file to PDF ..... not working for me ......

I Wanted to develop the script using your script as a base .

suggestions to make the script work ?

I have the current version of autoit 3.2 !

[randallc]

Hi,

I would like to use it too, but have not researched it any further;

I'm surprised if nothing happened, but it never worked properly for me; did you try to PM WFC as he was looking at it?.. or research ooo groups?

Sorry,

Best,randall
