Unfortunately TextOut is one of the GDI commands currently *not* supported by wxPdfDocument. Better WMF support is on my to-do list, but with relatively low priority. >> There exist low cost solutions for WMF to PDF conversion.

We have about the same definition of low cost, but you are right I had utilities in mind. > I could find this, but it seems fairly crappy: > http://www.soft-album.com/Development/Components-Libraries/Image-to-PDF-Dynamic-Link-Library-6428-Review.html > .

Well, that's one of the reasons I started to develop wxPdfDocument. ;-) Regards, Ulrich ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.
