Josh Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I'm looking for something I can link to that will automatically convert a web page to PDF format. This seems pretty good, but it can't be automated: http://www.pdfonfly.com/html-to-pdf-conversion.asp?u=http%3A%2F%2Fleadwerks.com%2Fwerkspace%2Findex.php%3F%2Fpage%2Fprint_tutorials%2F_%2Fprogramming%2Fcpp%2Fusing-opengl-for-drawing-r19%3Fprint%3D1&f=1&m=1&s=1 Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

Canardia Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 We are a product from verypdf to run automatic html to pdf conversion on servers: http://www.verypdf.com/pdf2htm/index.html It's a command line tool, which has all the needed options, including user authentication and recognition of login redirection pages. And the support is very friendly and helpful.

He had no expertise in space travel, and no way of knowing if it would work. He just announced "we're going to the moon" and then they made it happen because everyone was on the same page and working towards the same goal. If he had said "well, let's get some people in space, and we'll see how far out we can get, and if I find someone to make a rocket strong enough, we could possibly approach the moon's orbit and maybe land" it wouldn't have happened.

Canardia Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 We tried adobe's service also, but it didn't work because they don't have a command line tool which you can install on your server.

It's all web based, and it just came out last week officially. You upload document, they bring it to their server for conversion then you can download it.

Canardia Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Yeah, but people want to create PDF files programmatically in realtime from their HTML web server. That's what verypdf does.

Canardia Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Yes, command line tools are automatic, web pages uploads are manual.
