PDF Creation

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

Hi Andy,

Here is set of tools related with PDF available on HP-UX,.

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

Re: PDF Creation

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.

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