The direct document to PDF conversion requires the Aloaha PDF Suite Server edition to be installed and configured in non-interactive mode.
With this API/ActiveX Server it is possible to submit a document of any type to Aloaha and get a ready PDF back. The ActiveX Server is not included in the setup package of Aloaha and must be requested by email from info@wrocklage.de
Usage:
Dim alo
Set alo = CreateObject("creatormonitor.cmoninterface")
If alo.info > 0 Then
MsgBox alo.SubmitAndWait(cstr("c:\test.txt"),200)
End If
Set alo = Nothing
Please ask...
Although we really tried hard, there are always questions left open. But perhaps somebody else had already put the same question? Please check!
Hi,
I am evaluating this pdf suite as part of my business requirement.
I would like to programmatically convert an excel document into a pdf. I would also like to secure the output pdf. The language I am using is C#.
Could you please send me code samples on how to accomplish this using the API. This is an urgent requirement so please help.
Thanks,
With Aloaha you cannot convert directly into PDF. You always need to print to the Aloaha PDF Printer. But you can automate the Aloaha PDF Suite so that every document printed to the virtual printer is being converted and saved to a pre-defined folder. To use Aloaha in automated mode you would require the server license.
With the encryption API you can secure your PDF documents. Please have a look at http://www.aloaha.com/software-development/pdf-encryption-api.php for samples.
