Given the example rollershade has provided.yes you do need the Adobe Acrobat Type library, and no you don't really need to install Adobe Acrobat - just the Type library would do. ) to be sure that the type library is included with your app, create an installation package so that it would be properly included - since it will become a dependency of the project.

When the users install your app using the installation pkg.the tlb should be installed as well. Dunno if this info would suffice, but i hope that it may be a bit useful.

The following steps will guide you how to create a pdf file programmatically. Download the Assemblies from the above mentioned url. Extract the.zip file to your desired location (filename:PDFsharp-MigraDocFoundation-Assemblies-1_31.zip) 3. Create a New VB.Net Project. Add pdfsharp Assemblies in VB.Net Project. Note: In the code, CommandButton1 is the Command Button name you will use to save active sheet as PDF file. 'C: PDF Export.pdf' is the path and name of your saving PDF file. Press the Alt + Q keys simultaneously to close the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window. Then turn off the Design Mode under the. Hello Friends, I don't know, How to create and write in pdf file from vb6. Apr 09, 2012 2. The report needs to run in background creating a PDF document. Automatically save pdf to disk because vb will store pdf as an image to database. Display the PDF to user. Again I need all this to happen in background, the only thing the user sees is a message that states 'report is processing' and the pdf doc when it's done.

Sorry for being unclear. I meant that I understand what you are trying to do but I don't understand what is the information you are missing to do that. You'll use the code from (vbscript but VB6 can create also a WinHttpRequest object () using CreateObject ). Oster Egg Poacher Parts. Using this object you'll be able to ask for the url you first shown us. Then you'll receive the content of the PDF file as a response.

You can then save this content to a disk file. Have you started something? Note that this is C# group so that is off topic here and I don't have VB6 handy right now so I can't provide ready to use code (and generally I don't anyway as I prefer to explain what to do rather than to provide copy/paste code which would be not understood) but it seems enough to allow to start something. You asked what to add to the url to save a file on disk, to me you have nothing to add, it should already return the file content and then you get this content and save the file, a web server is not able to save a file on your local machine.

So create a VB 6 project and try to create a WinHttpRequestObject to ask for this url would be the first step. Then report about the problem you ran into a VB6 forum (granted you'll likely have a hard time finding one). BTW do you really have to use VB6? Try perhaps as a starting point (same principle with another request object) but uses VBA which is still a bit closer to VB6. Please always mark whatever response solved your issue so that the thread is properly marked as 'Answered'. But still I don't catch your exact issue. Do you want to create it from your VB application?

If yes, you'll use an object such as MSXML2.XMLHTTP to send an http query to the web server. The response is a series of bytes which is the content of a PDF file. You'll save those bytes to a file to do whatever you want with it. It could be an EXE file that just does that and is scheduled using the Windows Task Scheduler.
