This class was created to help Xbase++ users in creating reports with the ability to preview on screen, print and convert to PDF from Xbase++ applications. This solution can be deployed to customer installations without further steps, like PDF printer drivers, and so on.

This is a very simple class with very little effort in terms of programming, of course implementing it will require code changes, but the benefits are worth it.

An example of a simple program would be :

PROCEDURE MAIN

Grapdf := xbpGraPdf():New()	// Creates the GraPDF object
Grapdf:Create( oPrinter )	// Tell the class where should the report be printed
Grapdf:Page()	// Page size
Grapdf:Font( '10.Courier New' )	// Choose font
Grapdf:StringAt( {10, 10}, "Hello World !" )	// write text
Grapdf:Preview()	// Preview the report
