janedoe Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Hi, We were about to purchase a Developer license for AfFiler (a PDF plugin), but they seem to have gone out of business. We are using Pro 8, but the quality of PDF's created when use Pro 8's PDF function on a layout with a large image (such as a form), the quality is really poor. AfFiler did a great job on the same layout. Does anyone know of another PDF plugin, or know of a way to get a Developer License for AfFiler? Thanks, jd.

Genx Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 No, but try using a container to store your image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveB Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Try these 3 (only for Windows, except maybe Schubec). I use Schubec, which is a well-designed plugin but not cheap. The last 2 are free, but will require more work on your part since they aren't plugins. Schbec PDFTK BullZip Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janedoe Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 hi, well schubec seems perfect, but it doesn't work on a citrix environment the other couple are good when combined, but not as good as affiler which came with some nice FM examples. hmm, if only it was a perfect world and we had bought the developer license of affiler a month ago jd.

Genx Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 ..Would you just try put the image in a container and then produce your pdf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveB Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Afiler was pretty crude, and could be easily (relatively) duplicated if you want to. It used WinBatch to change the default printer to the PDF driver, and it used the GPL Ghostscript code (in the public domain) which Bullzip and PDFTK both use. There are enough examples on these sites to build what you want. I don't know anything about Citrix, so I can't tell you how to handle this environment.
