VI Front Panel to PDF

Hi all,

        Need some help to store VI front Panel to PDF. Im using 'Dopdf' application to convert the front panel to pdf.

My requirement is i need to save the PDF file name programatically instead of popping out a window to browse pdf file path and file name.can any one please suggest any API or dll??

 

Thanks in advance

You could use that to make your own app in LabVIEW.

hi,

    can u please throw some light on the sentence "You could use that to make your own app in LabVIEW." The Funtional pallete link which you have provided takes the VI file path and the printer name, but i need to enter the file path and file name of the PDF.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Regards,

An easy way is to use the ITextSharp toolkit, you can download it from the following link: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-10952.

 

Here is an application example an the resulting pdf.
