PDFinclude is an open source (and completely FREE) Progress utility developed to allow Progress developers to dynamically generate reports in Adobe PDF file format without having to use third-party tools or utilities.

PDFinclude is a stand-alone component that defines a toolset of Progress functions and procedures that aid in the output of a PDF file ... without having to generate a separate text file first (as in text2pdf.p).
The PDF file format is fast becoming an industry-standard for electronic document viewing. The PDF format allows for documents that can be accessed by a broad range of hardware and software devices (including PDAs and Internet browsers).
PDFinclude utilizes Progress code that is compliant with versions 8 and 9 of the Progress 4GL and the same source code can be used on multiple OS platforms - including Windows, AIX, Unixware, Solaris etc. - while running in different application environments (eg: GUI, CHUI, web-enabled and n-tier).
Downloads See "attachments" below for the downloads, including a download of a PowerPoint presentation from the Michigan PUG.
The big .zip download includes a Word document, which is the PDF Include documentation. I've also attached a PDF of that. Thanks Peter Frederick for sending the PDF!
Pro-Sys Consultants are the original authors of PDF Include, and provide commercial support as well as a commercial version of the product.

I have received notification from users that files created with PDFInclude in PROGRESS using PDF version 7 could not be opened in Adobe Version 8.
Has anyone else encountered this problem, and how was it resolved?
Does anyone else have this issue? When using a date from the database with this statement it seems to drop the month so instead of getting 12/31/2008 I only get /31/2008. If I output the same thing within quotes it seems ok but not when it is a field. Here is the statement I am using,
RUN PDF_TEXT_CHARXY(sPdf,STRING(Order.OrderDate,"99/99/9999"),005,548).
Hi,
I'm trying to simply figure out how to use dynamic forms. I created a form in acrobat and wanted to test it. Unfortunately the resultant form has no fields or filled in values.
Can some one please explain what I am doing wrong?
This is my code with the template and the resultant pdf file attached.
{inc/pdf_inc.i "NOT SUPER"}
RUN pdf_open_PDF IN h_PDFinc ("Spdf","c:\Temp\template.pdf","Inv"). /* Open Template PDF*/
RUN pdf_new IN h_PDFinc ("Spdf","c:\temp\filled-form.pdf").
RUN pdf_new_page IN h_PDFinc ("Spdf").
May i know is it possible to register the font with an existing pdf document
I used staroffice/open office api to convert word document to pdf, you know my project needs the converted pdf to be converted once again to images, using acrobat viewer bean(com.adobe.acrobat.*) but failed to do so with FontException as Arial and TimesNewRoman fonts are not registered with the converted pdf, fonts are with word document.
So can ;you tell me is it able to convert a word document to pdf using ur product
OS: HP-UX
ZLIB: Version 1.2.3
PROGRESS: 9.1D
I am getting the following error when running pdfinclude and trying to use an existing PDF page.
Could not open Dynamic Library: /lib/libz.so.1 (8013) Could not load DLL procedure /lib/libz.so.1. (3258)
The find doesn't exist, and is NOWHERE on the server. I have a libz.sl.1, but this doesn't work.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Can someone point me to some documentation that describes how to create form templates using OpenOffice. The pdfinclude documentation that I have describes how to do it with Adobe and mentions that it can be done with OpenOffice but doesn't elaborate or provide examples.
Thanks
