Converting GIF images to PDF files can be done relatively easily. Here's a sample written in JScript:

-------------------------------------------------------

/* Convert an image to a PDF */

// Load a sample image into memory

QP.AddImageFromFile("sample123.gif", 0);

// Get the width and height of the image

lWidth = QP.ImageWidth();

lHeight = QP.ImageHeight();

// Reformat the size of the page in the selected document

QP.SetPageDimensions(lWidth, lHeight);

// Draw the image onto the page using the specified width/height

QP.DrawImage(0, lHeight, lWidth, lHeight);

// Store the updated PDF where you like

QP.SaveToFile("sample123.pdf");

-------------------------------------------------------

All you have to do is loop through this little snippet of code for each image that you wish to convert.

Thanks!

I am unfamiliar with jscript. If I had a folder "e:\images" and wanted to loop thru the gif files in that dir, what is the syntax?

How would i kick that script off? do I need to run in from within quickpdf?

It might help if you tell us which programming language you are trying to use.

There is some samples on how to use Quick PDF Library with VBScript in this folder (after you've installed Quick PDF Library):

C:\Program Files\Quick PDF Library\Samples, Tutorials and Help\VBScript

It should not be very hard to convert the JScript code that I posted into VBScript, just a few minor changes like removing the semi-colons from the end of the lines and a few other things.

As for looping through each image in the folder, off the top of my head I'm not familiar with how to do this in VBScript, but you should be able to find a sample in Google.

Good luck!
