RE: [PHP-WIN] OLE/COM stuff - let's have some fun with Word andAcrobat!

Originally, the idea is to see if PHP COM can be used to solve John's problem. I just checked and can't see any COM object for PdfMaker in Word. But there is the possibility to write a macro that would do the job, then run the macro from PHP COM. John try that if you wish and see how it works, let us know...

Well, yes & no... as Distiller Assistant is a print driver that runs on the machine where Acrobat 4 (or earlier) is installed, and you can print from any application into Distiller (the print driver prints from the app to a postscript file, and then Distiller reads the postscript file into a PDF format) - all in one simple action. As far as "badly formatted" results... Acrobat doesn't seem to like GIFs when generating PDF files... if your document contains GIFs or JPEGs, it's best to convert these to BMPs before creating your PDF file :) Well, I digress, as I've taken this thread now completely out of the realm of PHP - sorry folks :( -- Andy Hoffman Web Developer Bristol-Myers Squibb email: andy.hoffman@bms.com -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-windows-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-windows-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
