db2000 TXT2PDF

db2000 Txt2PDF really is a small and simple procedure that takes care of converting a text file in another PDF compatible (Portable Document Format). In internet there are similar solutions and more efficient but here the aim was to test the ability of Jabaco and propose examples to novices who approach for the first time to this development environment. To who wants to deepen the specifications of the files PDF I advise to read the document: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_reference_1-7.pdf (31Mb!). Any suggestion is welcome :).

Hi Manuel,

You will certainly know that the syntax of the script of the documents PDF allows to manage references both to inside link in the same document and in external documents as in the example:

Source code

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
... 
14 0 obj 
<< /A << /S /URI 
/Type /Action 
/URI (http://www.jabaco.org/wiki/Label#Differences_to_VB6) >> 
/Border [ 0 
0 
0 ] 
/Rect [ 388.482 
532.5044 
414.5953 
544.5044 ] 
/Subtype /Link 
/Type /Annot >> 
endobj 
...

... however to do this a procedure is necessary that interpreters correctly the file of origin. db2000 TXT2PDF is a simple example, however I am available to furnish any support (in the time that I have available). I have not made any search but I believe that in internet is already found some specific softwares for these uses and many references to various types of conversion, for example: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension: PDF_Writer can be useful to Your need?

Best Regards,

Massimo
