Synopse

Our SynPdf unit has been updated to the 1.14 version.

Some enhancements:

• new SetCMYKFillColor and SetCMYKStrokeColor methods for TPdfCanvas
• now handles EMR_POLYBEZIER* commands in conversion from meta file content
• fixed EZeroDivided error when enumerating SetWindowExtEx(szlExtent(0,0))
• some enhancements for better PDF/A-1 conformance to the standard: now includes the ICC profile for RGB pictures; corrected /Link flag and XML metadata; new header with 8 bit characters; correct outlines and other minor issues: now pass e.g. validation tests.

Compatible with Delphi 5 up to Delphi XE.

Source code released under GPL/LGPL/MPL license, on choice.
That means: free, like a bird, and like a beer.

Our SynPdf unit has been refreshed to the 1.12 version.

The main enhancements are:

• Can now generate PDF/A-1 files;
• Direct methods for creating bookmarks, links and document outline;
• Document information can now be Unicode encoded;
• The bitmaps can be cached and reused  if drawn multiple times;

Using our SynPDF library and a public domain THtmlView component, and discussion with some of our users, we were able to make a html to pdf conversion tool.

Synopse PDF engine is an Open Source PDF document creation library for Delphi, embedded in one unit. It's used in the 1.7 version of SQLite3 framework, for creating PDF files from reports.

Among its features, you can use a true TCanvas to create the PDF, and embed True Type fonts subsets. Of course, it's Unicode ready, and licensed under a MPL/GPL/LGPL tri-license.
