Hi Willem, Thanks for the info, I will start playing today :) and post the results later thanks, rodrigo. - Original Message - From: Geografiek geograf...@geografiek.nl To: Rodrigo Augusto Guerra rodr...@alumni.org.br; Flash Coders List flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Monday, October 31, 2011 11:01 AM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] alivePDF Hi Rodrigo, No. as far as I understand the alivePDF methods are just about how the pdf is created, page size, orientation, meta information like key words, author etc. Basically you create your image (for instance like you said, create a layout and fill it with xml data in one mc) and 'feed' this image to AlivePDF. Don't expect a very versatile pdf however with forms and cross references. It is basically a rasterized version of your mc, wrapped in a pdf document.

[Flashcoders] AlivePDF + high resolution
Hi list, I use AlivePDF to create PDF files from a display container. All works well, except that the image in the pdf (created from vectors in the display container) is only 72dpi. I searched the web and found that the way to go is to create a high resolution (300dpi) image from the display container first and feed that image to AlivePDF. In Flex this is done using the mx.graphics.ImageSnapshot class. But my project is flash AS3 only and mx.graphics seems not to be available in Flash. Also AlivePDF supports high resolutions from v1.5. But the example I got from their website (code below) also seems to be Flex-only. [Embed( source=/assets/cover_300dpi.jpg, mimeType=application/octet-stream )] private var jpgBytes:Class; myPdf.addImageStream( new jpgBytes() as ByteArray, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, ImageResize.RESIZE_PAGE ); My question: Are there any alternatives for Flash or is it possible to implement one of the previously mentioned Flex solutions in Flash anyway.
