PDF in DesignerWt

[Ron Tidwell]

Hi,

As a Newbee to Designer Wt, I need some help. How do create a PDF in DesignerWt? I have tried to use the example from the Wt documentation but I get errors: Wt::WPdfImage’ is not a direct base of my application. I am sure there must be a way to do this. Any example or help would be greatly apprecated.

I want to draw the PDF myself.

Thanks,
Ron

Hi Ron

This is really a Wt question and is best asked on the Wt forum.

However I have written a SVG file using WSvgImage, this is the same process as writing to a PDF using WPdfImage.

You should be able to do something like

Wt::WPdfImage pdf;
Wt::WPainter painter(&pdf);
painter.begin(&pdf);

//then use painter methods such as drawLine(), drawText() etc

painter.end();

//finally declare a stream to specify the file and do
pdf.write(stream); 

Regards

Nigel
