You might want to look into the Ghostscript project. If you can generate the needed PostScript source text, Ghostscript can convert that to a PDF. PostScript is just another computer language, but one specifically designed for handling the layout of pages. For example:

%!
newpath
72 72 moveto
144 144 lineto
stroke
showpage


The above PostScript code simply creates a diagonal line in the lower-left-hand corner of the page.


Not sure if this is within the bounds of your capabilities and what you are trying to accomplish, but it should work if you can put it all together...

If you are using OS X, put whatever it is on a card and try to print

IS there a way to save as a pdf by chance?

I was hoping there was a way to do it without user intervention. What I'm
putting together is an app that will pick up email orders from my Miva
Merchant store, generate a mailing label, pick up the actual pdf files to be
printed and send that all on to my fulfillment center where they will
produce and ship the item to the customer. They would like everything in pdf
format.


Currently I've used Sarah's POP library and Shao Sean's libSmtp & libEmail
to build most of it and I have it working great. It's just that the mailing
label is a jpg that I create using the export snapshot feature. I'm waiting
to see if the fulfillment people will accept the jpg instead of a pdf.


I'm using Rev 2.2.1-- I don't know if the latest version has anything that
would help me in this regard.


Thanks,

Marty Knapp
