HTML2PDF-X Pilot

HTML2PDF-X Pilot is an ActiveX/COM library that was designed to help developers generate PDF reports from HTML content or convert HTML to PDF files. It performs these operations by using the WebKit rendering engine. Users can choose to either integrate this library in their applications or use it as a standalone utility.

It can be used within any programming language that offers support for ActiveX/COM libraries, including Visual Basic, Visual Basic.NET, Visual C++, Visual C#, ASP, ASP.NET and VBScript (Visual Basic scripted language). More so, this library does not depend on any other third-party software.

If the operating system features a built-in VBScript interpreter, programmers can test the library's potential by simply creating a text file containing the corresponding script and giving it a VBS extension.

HTML2PDF-X Pilot can help developers integrate the ability to generate PDF content by using either HTML files or HTML code strings within their applications. The absolute and relative hyperlinks contained in PDFs are preserved, if they are available in the original document. The library features image and shape drawing functions and it provides support for several formats.

JavaScript can also be used, in order to aid the users in customizing their web page content with minimum efforts. Developers can access text drawing functions that support HTML content along with CSS customization features.

Resulting content can be freely scaled and rotated, as HTML2PDF-X Pilot provides support for these functions.

This library provides users with detailed documentation files, along with in-depth tutorials for many popular programming languages, as well.
