>From your post ... Im not totally sure what your trying to do w/ PDF and the
conversion of a PCL print stream or whatever...??
But there is a company you can find @ www.pdfzone.com that makes a tool that
converts a PCL print stream "file" to pdf. You'll have to search the site
under tools that 'Create" pdf.
We have done some CF stuff that pipes data from sql server into a large PDF
form. (300+ unique fields of data) ..... Where the form "Layout/Design" is
relatively static, but the data fields are dynamic. In the case of
invoices/bills - you could do the same thing - its just take a bit more
business logic side programming than a 1 to 1 direct mapping of db field
data to pdf form field locations.
For example a client with multiple line items being billed for 4-5 services
vs. a customer with 1 item on their invoice or bill for 1 service.
We used Adobe's FDF Toolkit (thread safe ActiveX) for windows, and
interfaced our cf web app and sql db via cf's support of COM.
There's many more robust db to pdf solutions out there, the one above is a
beginning point I'd guess. Further dependent on your budget :-)
