I have a PDF billing template that I need to put in the various information for customers and then send them the PDF's. I was looking into coding this with VB and saw iTextSharp mentioned a few times.
When I googled it I only found something on SourceForge and it was written in C#, where do you go for something in VB.net?
Am having a series of picture to be written to PDF format using "itextsharp.dll" ..., this pictures must be at least two(2) pictures on a page.
View 1 RepliesWhen creating a new iTextSharp document how do I specify the page orientation? Using Dim doc As New Document(PageSize.LETTER) creates a letter size document with portrait orientation. I need a letter size document with landscape orientation. How do I set that? Also, does anyone know if the documentation is online? I couldn't find it anywhere on their website.

View 1 RepliesI've got relatively little experience with VB but I've been asked by my employer to try to write a program to automate a billing process. We print PDFs for some of our clients, and we do two copies. One copy goes to the account holder, and one goes to the company that funds the account. So we have a directory structure that looks something like this:
Copies that went to the account holders:
FolderA1234.pdf
FolderB987.pdf
FolderB6767.pdf
[Code]...
As you can see, the file names are the same. But items in FolderA are billed differently than items in FolderB. So the ideal program would be able to go through FolderA and FolderB, collect the filenames, and then go through SubfolderA and SubSubFolderA and report back that, "1 file matched a filename in FolderA. 2 files matched filenames in FolderB". I have no idea where I would beging to write such a program but is this something that is plausible?
My manager says he can probably do something like this in an hour manually so if it would take longer than that to code it's probably not worth it. I'd really like to be able to show some skill and do this, though (I've only been here a few months and this would be a good opportunity to provide some added value).
I am trying to add a webbrowser control to my app and view PDFs. I am sort of get it to work..where I can choose oen adn it opens...BUT when I go to open another it errors out..I think I sort of have the WebBrowser working...ALTHOUGH i cannot seem to change the image...I can only load it once...ERROR: Trying to revoke a drop target that has not been registererd (exception from HRRESULT:0x80004100 After the app opens I can click either or and it will either open the PDF or the web page..BUT I CANNOT select again...I get the error above...I have tried to set the webbrowser to NOTHING but that does not seem to be working.
webbrowserPDF.Source = Nothing
If Test = "fire_district.pdf" Then

I've got a project where I'm going to have to compare some PDFs. I've checked out a few SDKs, but I was wondering if anyone else has had to tackle this and may have some suggestions?
View 3 RepliesI'm automating downloads. I was getting this error quite a bit using Webbrowser to navigate to a PDF (various PDFs at various websites). In other words the PDF was already on display in the browser when I called WebClient.DownloadToFile. I got a LOT better results when I desisted from WebClient and switched to this API (just pass in the two strings along with zeroes for the other parameters).
[Code]...
And yet Webclient seems oriented for only two entries (username and password). How do you set up the credentials for three entries? I hate to abandon WebClient, but at this point I just don't know how to make it work.
I need to print multiple existing files, PDFs. I have the following

Is there another 'better' way of doing this? Sometimes it just doesn't print the PDF, I guess because it's taking longer than the WaitForExit time. And so closes the process.
I'm trying to use the Global.asax file in the root application of the website to catch requests for pdf files in the root that don't exist any more. I've configured iis to send pdf requests to asp.net. The whole thing works perfectly on development. It also works on the live system with missing .aspx pages, but not .pdf. Instead an "Error Code 64: Host not available". I'm using the Global.asax file to avoid the web.config and child applications (1.1 & 2.0) inheriting settings.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI'd like to be able to create, name and store individualized reports (school report cards, actually) with VB.Net and Crystal Reports using data from our SQL database.
It would be even better to be able to automatically generate individualized e-mails using e-mail addresses stored in the database, attaching the aforementioned PDF reports and sending them off.
I have an Excel 2007 workbook chock full o' VBA macros that do various things, including one that jumps from chart to chart making PDFs of each using PDFCreator, based on some code I borrowed from Ken Puls (url...).However recently I and some users of the workbook started having problems where the PDFs would be created with either gray image artifacts over the charts,or the whole chart image would have a double of itself skewed slightly. It just happens the problems started after we did a global upgrade to Office 2007, though I had had 2007 installed on my computer for a while and tested and used the workbook extensively without issue up until then. Here is the part of the code that automates the printing:
Sub PDF_print_all()
'Author : Ken Puls (www.excelguru.ca)
'Macro Purpose: Print to PDF file using PDFCreator[code]...
The problem is not consistent either... sometimes it will print to PDF with an oddly shaped block of gray, and sometimes it will only have the whole chart image doubled. The only consistency I could find is that sometimes if an object is selected in a chart beforehand (a text box, chart line, axis numbers, etc) the gray artifact will partly mimic the shape of whatever object had been selected.I wish I could include example images to show exactly what's happening.I know it's not a problem inherent to PDFCreator because if I manually print to it in Excel, the PDF image looks perfect. It's only when I use the automated method that the problem occurs, so I thought maybe it was the code.
I currently have a simple crystal reports application which generates a crystal report and in the built in viewer provided by VS2005. There is a drop down where you can select options to change the criteria of the report. I wish to convert this app to a windows executable which will take all those select options and generates pdfs based on the crystal report. the executable will be triggered by windows task scheduler...or maybe command line app?
Obviously this will be somewhat of a re-write. What would be the best way to start this as? a crystal report application or a windows application.
So this is my code.

How the logic is confusing. I was thinking of making a Variable that stores the time NOW and once the uploads 1 file, another variable will take the time and subtract it from the old time and times it by the number of files left. Or as you can see I have a little % calculation there and I could use that to calculate the amount of time left.Will that be consistent? Or are there other ways to achieve the result

if we say i have a program and i want it to launch another .exe So the code of them being able to choose where it's located is "openfiledialog".But can i make it save the setting somehow, so it makes a small document/text-file thingy so it can read the locations from the file ?Or is there someway that the program remembers it ? I want it to ask for a file location first, and then next time pushing the button "start" it remembers the location ?

I've been trying to make a grid to test some AI stuff I'm working on. I managed to do it using rectangles and graphics.rectangle (pens.black, rect) by using a vid on youtube, but it made the application virtually useless because of all the memory it was using. I don't need it to be an actual grid, but I do need it to have values as if it was a grid, so that I can issue commands (x,y coords). (I have been searching the forums for over an hour, but all examples are either useless or cant be converted correctly).
View 6 RepliesMy next step is to allow a pause checking the status of the motor and or inputs before going to the next step. Reason is so it does not do many calls to the motor controller so fast. I need some help building a loop that checks status of the motor and if Motor1Active is 1 which means it is running that it needs to wait a bit and then rechecks itself. If it is not running it will continue to the next step command. Here is a sample of what I got but need to figure out say a 50ms wait before rechecking. I guess a loop that rechecks and waits 50ms and then rechecks the status and if done and reads 0 then it goes to the next step. if still 1 output data it waits 50ms and then rechecks. The following is what I got started with but need help with if then else and anything else statement.
