Hi Ataro,

you'll need the render-functions and should enter the online-reference here:

In the samples-section here in the user-forum you'll find pdf-viewer-samples regarding your question.

Cheers and welcome here,
Ingo

Normally, you would not exactly 'convert' a BMP to PDF, although the result is as if you had 'converted' it. What you actually do is import the bitmap into a blank page, then draw the bitmap onto the page. Only after you have done that can you then save, render or print the resulting PDF, as Ingo suggests.

So the sequence would be: (1) start with the empty PDF page that the QuickPDF document provides automatically; (2) AddImageFromFile to make the BMP available; (3) DrawImage or DrawScaledImage to place the bitmap on the page; (4) SaveToFile to create the PDF, or print the PDF or render it to some other format. To find the syntax for each or these functions, look in the PDF documentation manual for QuickPDF. There is also a 'convert image to PDF' example script, which does exactly the four steps above.
