Export data report)-Step by Step-From Scratch
In this Video tutorial,Following Features are discussed
1.First,Create Database ,Store Data in it using MS Access.Also,Display the data in Datagrid Using
ADODC and Data Grid Control In Visual Basic 6.0 .
2.Before Creating data report in Vb6,First Create Data Environment Which is used to connect your
database with Data Report and tells the data report what is stored in the database..
3.Once,Data Environment has been created ,Now Create Data Report with Data Environment just by
dragging different fields from Data Environment to Data Report..
4.How to display all records in one Page or One Record in One Page.
5.How to print the data report.
6.How to export contents of data report to text files or other format files.
7.Use various Controls and functions in the different Sections of Data Report in order to make data report

Automatic Conversion from PDF to JPG
Universal Document Converter allows saving any type of a document as a PDF, JPEG, TIFF, or PNG
image file. Software developers can benefit from the Universal Document Converter resources using
the COM-interface with Adobe Acrobat as COM-server for converting PDF to JPG.

PDF conversion source code examples:

Private Sub PrintAdobePDFToJPEG(ByVal strFilePath As String)

Dim objAdobeApp As Object

Dim itfAVDocument As Object

Dim itfPDDocument As Object

Dim nPages As Long

Dim objUDC As UDC.IUDC

Dim itfPrinter As UDC.IUDCPrinter

Dim itfProfile As UDC.IProfile

Dim AppDataPath As String

Dim ProfilePath As String

' Use Universal Document Converter API to change settings of converterd document

objUDC = New UDC.APIWrapper

itfPrinter = objUDC.Printers("Universal Document Converter")

itfProfile = itfPrinter.Profile
' Adobe Acrobat API allow to print only on the default printer

objUDC.DefaultPrinter = "Universal Document Converter"

' Load profile located in folder "%APPDATA%\UDC Profiles".

' Value of %APPDATA% variable should be received using Environment.GetFolderPath

' method. Or you can move default profiles into a folder you prefer.

AppDataPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData)

ProfilePath = Path.Combine(AppDataPath, "UDC Profiles\PDF to JPEG.xml")

itfProfile.Load(ProfilePath)

itfProfile.OutputLocation.Mode = UDC.LocationModeID.LM_PREDEFINED

itfProfile.OutputLocation.FolderPath = "C:\Out"

itfProfile.PostProcessing.Mode = UDC.PostProcessingModeID.PP_OPEN_FOLDER

' Run Adobe Acrobat as COM-server

On Error Resume Next

objAdobeApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")

itfAVDocument = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")

' Open PDF document from file

If itfAVDocument.Open(strFilePath, "") = True Then

 itfPDDocument = itfAVDocument.GetPDDoc()

nPages = itfPDDocument.GetNumPages()

' Print all pages of the document

Call itfAVDocument.PrintPagesSilent(0, nPages - 1, 0, True, True)

' Close the document

Call itfAVDocument.Close(True)

itfAVDocument = Nothing

itfPDDocument = Nothing

End If

' Close Adobe Acrobat Writer

Call objAdobeApp.Exit()

objAdobeApp = Nothing

End Sub
Hi,

for all they search for a sample to print any PDF Files on the fly, ....

Sample written for Visual Basic 6:

______________________________________________________
Private Sub Print_on_the_fly_Click()

' Sub to prints PDF Files on the fly without saving

Dim QP As iSed.QuickPDF

Set QP = CreateObject("iSED.QuickPDF")

' GDIPlus.dll needed that the images are printable 'on the fly
Call QP.SetGDIPlusFileName(App.Path & "\GDIPLUS.DLL")

Call QP.UnlockKey("secret")
Call QP.LoadFromFile(App.Path & "\Formular.pdf")

If QP.Encrypted = 1 Then
QP.SetPassword ("secret")
QP.Unencrypt
End If
Call QP.SetNeedAppearances(1)

Call QP.SetFormFieldValueByTitle("Datum", date)

Call QP.SetFormFieldValueByTitle("Firma", Firma.value)
Call QP.SetFormFieldValueByTitle("Name", Name.value)
Call QP.SetFormFieldValueByTitle("Strasse", Strasse.value)
Call QP.SetFormFieldValueByTitle("Ort",PLZ.value & " " & Ort.value)
Call QP.SetFormFieldValueByTitle("Tel", Telfon.value)

' UpdateApperanceStream needed for printable 'on the fly

For pdfFields = 1 To QP.FormFieldCount
Call QP.UpdateAppearanceStream(pdfFields)
Next pdfFields

Call QP.PrintDocument(QP.GetDefaultPrinterName, 1, 1, QP.PrintOptions(0, 0, "Formular"))

Set QP = Nothing
End Sub

All you you need for a "printPreview"

....
Call QP.NeedImagePreview(1)
Call QP.RenderDocumentToFile(72, 1, 1, 1, App.Path & "\Vorschau.jpg")
....
