hi, 

here is a working sample of how to use PDFCreator in Visual C++ (after searching on internet for something similar I guess this is the only sample) 

This sample is reading c:2.txt file and output to c:pdf2.pdf 

1. you need to #import 1 

#import "C:WINDOWSsystem32MSVBVM60.DLL" rename ( "EOF", "VBEOF" ), rename ( "RGB", "VBRGB" ) //if you don't use this you will be in BIG trouble 
#import "C:Program FilesPDFCreatorPDFCreator.exe" 


2. start your PDF engine 

::CoInitialize(NULL); 
CComPtr<pdfcreator::_clspdfcreator> pdfObject; 
HRESULT hr = pdfObject.CoCreateInstance(L"PDFCreator.clsPDFCreator"); 

if (!FAILED(hr)) 
{ 

if (pdfObject->cStart(L"/NoProcessingAtStartup", FALSE)==FALSE) 
{ 
AfxMessageBox("can't start printer"); 
return; 
}; 

PDFCreator::_clsPDFCreatorOptionsPtr opt= pdfObject->GetcOptions(); 
opt->PutUseAutosave(1); 
opt->PutUseAutosaveDirectory(1); 
opt->PutAutosaveDirectory(L"c:\pdf\"); //here you put your output folder 
opt->PutAutosaveFormat(0); //0 for PDF 
opt->PutAutosaveFilename(L"2.pdf"); //pdf output file name 

pdfObject->PutRefcOptions(opt); 
pdfObject->PutcDefaultPrinter(L"PDFCreator"); //use PDFCreator printer from ControlPanel->Printers 

pdfObject->cClearCache(); 
//pdfObject->cSaveOptions(L"1"); 
pdfObject->PutcPrinterStop(VARIANT_FALSE); //let's start with PDFCreator Printer Process Queue ON 
pdfObject->cPrintFile(L"c:\2.txt"); //input of the file that will be translated into PDF format 
Sleep(4000); //lets wait for processing, TODO implement __clsPDFCreator_eReadyEventHandler 
BSTR fn = pdfObject->GetcOutputFilename(); //if your PDFCreator Printer is OFF you will get nothing "" 
AfxMessageBox(CString((const wchar_t*)fn)); 

pdfObject->cClose(); 
} 

pdfObject.Release(); 

//--------------------------------

*tada* 

if this sample is not working I guess is not my fault ;-) 

thanks,
