I'm trying to create a PDF from a text file; however, I'm having trouble with any and all tabs in the text document being ignored. Even if I use a bunch of spaces instead of a tab at the beginning of a line, they are ignored too.

In VB, I'm using a TextStream object to read the contents of the text file. I'm then feeding that to the DrawTextBox method in QuickPDF 4.41 The text is all faithfully rendered onto the page, except any tabs. I've tried various fonts, but to no avail.

QP.DrawTextBox(54, 54, 504, 684, ts.ReadAll, 1)

Any idea how I can get DrawTextBox to include tabs that are in the document? Thanks.

If i read the reference i don't see that DrawTextBox can do this. I think with DrawHTMLTextBox you can insert more layout options...
Best regards,
