PDF Creation

Andy Haigh_1 — Fri, 09 Dec 2005 20:42:03 GMT

Does anyone know if there is a free/low cost PDF creator that can be installed on HP/UX which I can call from within code I am writing on the server. Or if it creates a printer same as on a Windows environment. I know Adobe has a product but this will be low volume and can't justify their costs.

Thanks

Andy

I feel, you can use ClibPDF to create pdf files.

Arun,
Thanks for the details.

I am looking at PDFlib as it's still being worked on. ClibPDF hasn't been updated for a while, Dec 1999 was the last release.

The PDFlib product was mentioned in the ClibPDF release notes, so thanks for link.

Andy

ghostscript contains a lot of tools to convert between ps, pdf and txt etc.

Look at CUPS (Common Unix Printing System).
It has a PDF backend available.
CUPS is available from the
HP-UX Porting Center
