Dear Sir,

Does AscToPdf support .vbs called?  like:

set obj=CreateObject("AscToPdf")
obj.doSomething(...)

Thanks.

In it's present form AscToPDF is available in a command line form
that might allow you to run it from this environment.

There is an API version (i.e. a DLL) of AscToPDF and also a
COM version of the API.  I would expect that the COM version
could be used in this way (I don't have vbs experience to say
definitively that it does), however neither API has been officially
released as yet.

One issue is that the API only supports filt-to-file cnversion.
My other converters support string-to-string conversion (i.e.
your program passes in an input string and gets back an output string).

The reason for this is that PDF requires an index to be built of
byte positions of key objects, and at present the mechanism
used to obtain these positions relies on asking the output file
how many bytes have been written so far.  I'm also not sure
as yet what format would be suitable to return in a string as
regards further use.

If you'd be interested in trying an API version, email me at
info @ jafsoft.com, and I'd be happy to work with you to
see if the software can be made to meet your needs.

Jaf
