Thanks for the reply.
I think you are saying that quick pdf will not convert a ps file to a PDF file.

I was previously using acrobat distiller com object, but after moving from 8.0 to acrobat 9.0 the distiller com object does not work correctly unless the user running the command is actually logged into the terminal server. Under 8.0 it didn't require that.

Embedding raw postscript in a PDF isn't the same as converting a PS file to a PDF. Some PDF viewers won't even show it. In general you print such files to a PDF virtual printer of some kind or use Acrobat Distiller / GhostScript or something equivalent on them directly.

Some links that might be useful:

I am trying to convert out a postscript file to a PDF file.

I am using the code below.

When it comes to the save portion I end up with a blank PDF file.

Any ideas?

    Public Sub ConvertPS(ByVal PsFile As String)

        Dim OutputPDF As String

        Dim psReader As String

        OutputPDF = Replace(UCase(PsFile), ".PS", ".PDF")

        If File.Exists(OutputPDF) Then
            Kill(OutputPDF)
        End If

        Dim objSR As New StreamReader(PsFile)
        psReader = objSR.ReadToEnd
        objSR.Close()

        Dim PDFLibrary As QuickPDFAX0723.PDFLibrary
        PDFLibrary = CreateObject("QuickPDFAX0723.PDFLibrary")
        If PDFLibrary.UnlockKey("YOUR KEY HERE!") = 1 Then

            Dim psO = PDFLibrary.NewPostScriptXObject(psReader)
            Dim i = PDFLibrary.DrawPostScriptXObject(psO)
            PDFLibrary.SaveToFile(OutputPDF)
            PDFLibrary.RemoveDocument(PDFLibrary.SelectedDocument)

        End If

        PDFLibrary = Nothing


    End Sub]]> Mon, 27 Dec 2010 18:10:30 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/need-to-convert-ps-to-pdf_topic1695_post7403.html#7403
