I need to know if there is a way to create a PDF from an existing Device Context that already contains the graphics and text?

Hi Raffi,

i think you can save the dc to image-file or -stream

and then you can render it to pdf.

This should work.

Please read here as a starting point:

I cannot save the dc as an image because the following lines of code fail on the SelectObject.

TempDC = PDFWriter.GetCanvasDCEx(2550,3300,mhPrintDC)

TempBM = GetCompatibleBitmap(mhPrintDC, 2550, 3300)

ret1 = SelectObject(TempDC, TempBM)

Do you know of an alternative?
