Level:
The PDF format is very commonly used. However, its hard to create PDF files in VB. In the past you had to usually resort to buying a third party control. Before you dish out the cash for a control you should check out this sample source code. It uses the mjwPDF class to generate PDFs from within VB for free. This is a simple sample that shows you how to add text to a PDF file, save it, and view it. Its very well commented. The mjwPDF class allows you to do much more than this. Still this source sample gives you a good basic understanding. After seeing this be sure to check out our other PDF sample source code or read our Creating PDF Files in Visual Basic tutorial to see a step by step guide to creating PDF files from Visual Basic.
If you have any ideas on how to improve this VB6 PDF sample source code please let me know. Also please rate this sample using the form below. Tell your friends - they don't need to pay for PDF creation anymore!

Acrobat version compatibility
I created an application in VB6 using the PDF creator on a Win2000 server with Acrobat Reader 7. When I deployed the application on a Windows XP it worked find. Now that the reader has been upgraded to version 9, the application crashes when calling it.
Are there any compatibility issues between the PFD creator and the different version of the Reader?
Image
I was checking the code and I see this PDFImage :
So everyone that want to put image in PDF file can use this code :
objPDF.PDFImage App.Path & "\Cradle_Of_Filth.jpg", 5, 5
app.path = Its the address of your application
Cradle_Of_Flith = Its my pic , you should use your pic , Notice "The extension of it must be jpg or jpeg"
First 5 : Is X Position of your pic in PDF
Second 5 : Is Y Position of your pic in PDF
Great work
Dear Sir,
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise on this forum.

project about encrytion and decryption
hi friends,
Does anybody know how to encrypt and decrypt all kind of files(text file, image file, pdf file, ect,....) using a single visual basic or c++ source code program.
This is very urgent plz assist me by imparting some references or by your own program.
Is there a way to do this
Is there a way to do this with an Adobe control that is reliable? I've used two "Free" PDF conversion programs and they both lock up a few percent of the time and I get phone calls in the middle of the night every couple of weeks when they fail.
Thanks,
John
