Hello,

I am using the lite version 9.13 and I am having trouble being able to draw a line on my PDF.

Thanks

Hi TJ!

Please post your code to give us a chance for some advices where your problem could be.

Another hint:

A mouseclick on the logo above opens the door to many beginner guides ;-)

Cheers and welcome here,

Ingo

This is the code I am using below (Delphi). I have read other documents and it appears that the full version contains a method called "DrawLine". I can't seem to find that in the Lite version. I thought maybe there was another way.

procedure TfmMain.btCreatePDFClick(Sender: TObject);

var

PDFLib: TPDFLibrary;

begin

PDFLib := TPDFLibrary.Create(self);

PDFLib.SetTextSize(8);

PDFLib.DrawText(10,780,'My First PDF');

PDFLib.DrawText(10,770,'Created By Me');

PDFLib.SaveToFile('C:\Out.PDF');

PDFLib.Free;

end;

Thanks.

Hi,

in the Lite version is no vector graphics.

Cheers,

Thanks but I kinda figured that out already. I ended up making a template in MS Word and saved it as a PDF. In my application I load the template then save the file under a different name.
