Dear all,

Does anyone know how to create a PDF file in Win CE? I don't mind to buy a
third party utility. I have seached on the Web but found no PDF library for
CE.

It would be great if someone can introduce me such lib or utility.

Thanks for any help.

Hi there,

some days ago I had the same problem - I needed to write PDFs out of
my C#-Application.
So I took a look and found iTextSharp (http://
itextsharp.sourceforge.net/). This is a free and open source PDF
library for the .Net-Framework. Unfortunately it did not run out of
the box on the compact framework, but with some hours of investigation
I ported it and now it works.

I did not have any time to tell the iTextSharp people about it and I
don't know if they mind. But if you are interested - I could send you
my port and you have a very good PDF library (thanks for that to the
iTextSharp Team) which is free.

Regards,
Tom
 
Why not submit it back to the original project? Hopefully you kept the code
usable by both desktop and CF.

Hi, sure I will submit it back to them. I made the code condionally
compile for WinCE - but all the code should work on the Desktop, too.
 
Great. Community contribution is what keeps projects like that alive.

Hi Tom and Chris,

I have tried the iTextSharp and done the simular job as Tom did. However, I
fail to add image to the PDF document since it always convert the file path
to URI and try to get it through http. I can only make it work in Win CE
without image. Did you solved this problem? Could you please send me your
code?

Thanks for your help.
