Hello guys, I was wondering if there is there is a way to create thumbnails for different types of documents, for instance PDF documents, Word Documents, Spreadsheets, etc, not only for the images, from within PHP? If this would be to hard to accomplish, I would also be interested in a way to achieve something similar only for PDF docu...
I want to find a way to produce drop caps (large initial letters several lines high) in pdfLaTeX. I know that there is a dropping package which works well when used with latex + dvips. However, when used with pdflatex the result looks ugly. My source file is: \documentclass[12pt]{article} % for pdflatex file.tex # dropping is ugly % \...
Not sure this is a programming question, but we use LaTeX for all our API documentation and user documentation, so I hope it will go through. Can someone please explain what are the relative merits of using pdflatex as opposed to the "classic" technique of latex foo dvips -Ppdf foo ps2pdf foo.ps From time to time I run into people wh...
Hi, I have a file that I can get to with the UNC \mypath\myfile. I retrieve the path with c# and assign it to a link. The browser opens the file inside itself (ie display in the browser) without problem. But, when I try and save to \mypath\myfile I am prompted to save it locally. If I view the file outside of the browser (IE 7) I can...

OpenOffice Excel file export to PDF is being done programmatically and I wish to know if there is a way to resolve this issue by maybe passing some kind of flag or something during the conversion process which will make the cell background transparent in the PDF document. Please note an example PDF output. The original Excel file does n...
Hi there, I've got some trouble with displaying pdfs in IE7 (which were generated by R&OS' ezpdf). IE7 with Acrobat Reader 8.1.2. says "The page cannot be displayed" Other Browsers (like FF3/Acrobat 8.1.2. or IE6/Acrobat 7) have no problem with the file.

A report I have been working on some time ago started mis-rendering around Christmas. Some of the text boxes on it suddenly started rendering each character in their text content on top of each other, as if the printing of each character no longer "advances the cursor" to the correct position for the next one. The report is rendered to P...

Hello I am looking for a C/C++ library to convert HTML (Actually XHTML + CSS) documents to PDF. It is for commercial use and source would be nice but not essential. Anybody have any recommendations or experience doing this? UPDATE: To clarify, I am targeting the Windows platform only. I am developing with Borland C++ Builder 2006, bu...
I have a client that has a requirement to display PDFs directly within a desktop application. Apparently it is not acceptable to use Adobe Reader or some other 3rd party viewer. To complicate this, the app needs to run on both Windows and Mac OS X. Does anyone know of ways to do this? I'd prefer a cross-platform solution, but separat...

Any idea how to render a PDF using iTextSharp so that it renders the page using CSS. The css can either be embedded in the HTML or passed in separately, I don't really care, just want it to work. Specific code examples would be greatly appreciated. Also, I would really like to stick with iTextSharp, though if you do have suggestions...
I asked about getting iTextSharp to render a PDF from HTML and a CSS sheet before here but it seems like that may not be possible... So I guess I will have to try something else. Is there an open source .NET/C# library out there that can take HTML and CSS as input and render it correctly? I must reiterate... the library MUST be free...
