PDF conversion

[David A. Osborn]

Are there any libraries to convert files to PDFs or does anyone know of any
good and possibly free three party component to do the conversion?

Actually, all you need is the OCX & then you'll be able to write your own
convertor.

Here is a VB.NET example which I haven't tried yet:

Here's the API for PDF files:

Again, I haven't looked at this article. Lets hope they work for you

Did you know that PDF files are only written in Base 85?

This is interesting, but I don't necessarily want to create PDF files from
scratch. I want to convert exist documents to PDF, such as word, html,
AutoCAD, etc....
