Doesn't using PrintWizard imply the use of a Windows server somewhere?
That's the way of the world.
If you want a quick-and-dirty stick-some-text-into-a-doc type of PDF you can
get away with cross platform solutions, but for a 'real' PDF solution - one
with good font handling, images,
For simplistic pdf printing we create html docs in unibasic on linux then
use html2ps to create ps files then ghostscript to create the pdf files.
Html2ps actually works quite well tho we have only ever used it for fairly
simplistic pdfs for invoices etc. You can include images and also set font
Having noticed that a good part of development is done in Delphi, and the
cross-platform dilemma, has anyone looked into FPC-Lazarus for development
around UV ?
Also coming from a Delphi environment, I have so far found it relatively
easy to port my Delphi applications to FPC-Lazarus, and then

Have a look at UNFORM from synergetic - we've used this extensively with
UniVerse to integrate with document archiving, emailing, printing PDF
viewing etc. Runs on virtually all *NIX platforms as well as Windows.

Tony, good post. I agree with some of your points and others I
disagree with. Your point about commercial support in particular. But
I will refrain from counter point because it would take this thread
off point and that is not it's purpose. Thanks for your thoughts.

I use GS on Linux to generate 99% of our paperwork. I also added a
print-to-PDF-display and an email-me-a-PDF option in our printer selector
for traditional laser output. I use html2ps and htmldoc to generate the
Postscript content and then either convert to PDF or send the PS straight to

Hey Bob,
I do promise that I will look at it. It may be exactly what I am
looking for and as I said I _want_ to look at all solutions proposed.
My inherent developer side always draws me to 'roll-your-own'
solutions first since they generally give you a lot more control. The
down side obviously
