Hi all, As part of an app I'm finishing off, I need to create a PDF with a vector-based icon and some vector-based text.
Currently I have the PDF creation and icon working fine, but the text being written into the PDF is not vector based (it's normal text). As a result, Adobe Illustrator borks the text when it opens the PDF.... I want to be able to create a vector image on the server based on a set font and user-supplied text. I've found that Image Magick isn't designed for creating vector images. I can get an EPS of the text into the PDF by creating a PNG from the text, then converting the PNG to EPS format but the end result will be pixel, not vector-based text so it won't scale up very well. Can anyone offer any tips / ideas on how I can create a vector image on the server from text? Oh, the app is hosted on a shared server, so I don't have the luxury of installing extra software to run the processing through :( Thanks, Paul -- NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [email protected]
