Re: PDF files in Delphi

Programmatically creating PDF files is hell in a bucket. Your best bet is to create an RTF or something similar (perhaps an ODT?) and then use one of those freeware converters to convert it. If you can find a library, congrats.

Thank you for the help but I've decided to buy a component for creating PDF in delphi and it seems doing what I wanted, the component is PDF In-The-Box for delphi 3.12.

Thanks
I will try to learn how to create RTF files in delphi b'coz I've never used them inside delphi but I'll try.
Thank you very much...
