Clarify last wrong posted message.This is new post meassage. I use e JavaScript to save my page to .pdf file format, however, it can't be display when i open e saved .pdf file. I use e following code:- function SAV_function() { document.execCommand('SaveAs',null,'nameOfTheFile.pdf'); } The file can be save successfully in .pdf(Acrobat Reader) but can't display e output. Is it need to use any Convert method to do it?? Pls reply solutions that use in VB, VBScript, ASP, or JavaScript language. Preferable reply solutions v. JavaScript. I need ur help!!! Tx.

To save a file to .Pdf acrobat format you need the full $$version of adobe acrobat not the free "reader" program look on the adobe website for information on saving files in pdf format they used to allow you to upload the file to them and they would convert it for you I know this isnt what you want Bare in mind, You can slap any 3 letter file extention on any file, although it will resemble that type of file to windows, that will not make it that type of file My Page has many quick explainations of basic commands Feel free to contribute Or enlighten me with code examples that are not on my page I am particularly interested in learning hardware periph

Tx ur given comment. However, as u know, that's not what i requested for. I hope can use e programming language(prefer JavaScript, VB and ASP also can) to save my html or asp page into e .pdf file format and "can be view" by double click on e saved file. My current problem was unable to view e saved Acrobat Reader file although i successfully saved it in .pdf format. Hope all of u can give me more suggestion. Tx. :)

Edd, You state that you have successfully saved it in .pdf format. How can you be sure it is in .pdf format? If it was, it would open with Acrobat. It would seem that you have successfully saved it with the .pdf extension, but as stated above, you can save a file with any 3 letter extension. Having the .pdf extension doesn't mean it is in .pdf format.

Sorry, may be i am wrong in some part. Yup, e file supposing to be said in .pdf extension only. So, any scripts can help to transform in e actual pdf file format?? (JS, VB, or ASP). Besides, also suggest to me any 3rd party software can do e conversion, e software only need to install in e server but not every workstations...... bz not possible everyone view my web site need to purchase license for e conversion software. Tx.

Adobe has the .pdf format copyrighted - the only (legal) way is through them.

Not true BlueRaja - Adobe has opened up the format for other companies to develop .pdf applications. They even released an SDK. Edd- You'll need to install some kind of conversion software on the web server. I'm familiar with free libraries for both PHP and Perl to create .pdf files, but don't know of any thing free that does it using ASP (with vbscript nor javascript). I found several packages that did it with vbscript for a fee ranging from $100-$1200. Ahhhh...The joys of developing on Windows. Google for vbscript pdf converter. -SN -SN
