Hi Everybody!

I'm using ised.dll version 4.33.1.1.

I'm writing a vb 6 application and would like to change text.

For instance, I need to write all the text using Arial Narrow font, size 10 and some words need to be bold, italic etc.

All the text must be justified.

Example text:

"Para todos efeitos de direito, fazem parte integrante do presente contrato as suas cláusulas regulamentares, devidamente registradas e arquivadas..."

I already did:

    Dim pDf As iSED.QuickPDF
    Set pDf = CreateObject("iSED.QuickPDF")

    Call pDf.UnlockKey("UnlockKey")
    Call pDf.NewDocument

    Call pDf.SetOrigin("1")
    Call pDf.SetMeasurementUnits(1)                 'Define em milimetros
    Call pDf.SetPageSize("A4")                       'A4 portrait paper

    'Define a fonte a ser usada no arquivo
    FontArialNarrow = pDf.AddTrueTypeFont("Arial Narrow", 1)
    Call pDf.SelectFont(FontArialNarrow)

Call pDf.SetTextAlign(3)

When I used DrawHTMLTextBox, I cannot change font face to arial narrow.

With DrawTextBox, I could change font face, but I couldn't put plain an bold text on same phrase...

I would appreciate any help on how I can generate this pdf file.

Thanks in advance.

Kleber

Hi Kleber!

The html-textfunctions are different to the "normal" textfunctions.
See what's possible with the html-functions here:

As far as i know you can use plain and bold text in one row.
The only thing to have an eye on is not to do this in one string.
I think you have to split the string into single pieces (plain... bold... plain).

Cheers and welcome here,
Ingo

Hi Ingo!

Thank you for your answers.

Can you tell me how to change the font to Arial Narrow 10pt when using html?

Using html, I could change change text between plain and bold in one string, using b and /b tags, but I couldn't change font face an size, so I start using DrawTextBox.

With this one, I could change font face and size and also align it justified, but I couldn't switch between plain and bold text.

Thank you again for your help!
