I was wondering if quickpdf will convert RTF to a PDF?

My knowledge of quickpdf is limited. I was using crystal reports VS2003 to create a pdf and using quickpdf to change a few things. I recently "upgraded" to VS2005 and crystal reports exports to a pdf in a way that quickpdf can not extract the text.

The loading/saving/loading does not work. I saw someone else was having the same problem, but it was not resolved. I was thinking if I exported to a RTF and then had quickpdf convert it to a pdf so it could read it so I could manipulate the documents.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi!

Is it possible to put one of these "problem.pdf-files" online to check it?
An automatic rtf2pdf isn't possible with quickpdf.

Best regards,
Ingo

Hi,

Thank you for taking a look at the pdf. I posted a link to it on :

http://www.wibby.com/problempdf.htm - http://www.wibby.com/problempdf.htm

When I use GetPageText it gives me the information for the text boxes, but there is little or no actual text. The ExtractPageText gives the same only the characters of the text are all blank spaces. I did notice that the font that is exported by crystal reports is strange, but it wasn't a problem until now. The font on the actual crystal report is normal, but it changes when exporting to a pdf.

Thank you again for your help.

Hi Ingo!

I just wanted to let you know that the pdf I posted has not been altered at all. It is exactly what is exported by crystal. Normally I select the page, set the page size to letter and combine the layers. Let me know if you have any questions.
