If there is some fake printer at the other end and it is called pdf creating what ever, then it will take the info and do someting with it.

Operating system like windows or linux etc are able to take graphical information and send it to a printer, they do it simply so. This is more basic function implemented into the operating system. On the other hand, when I have the expensive special software (would be Altium Designer Layout Software in this case) and the file is open, I can see the graphic part of the information on my screen.įrom now it is not so difficult to print it, since printers do simply place the displayed information to paper or similar. So if the pdf creating programm can not see if this is at least any graphic parts in it or what, how on the earth should it find out what to do with the file and how to convert it. But for pdf only the graphic part would be essential just to make a bitmap picture of it and transform it into pdf format.īut neither open office, nor the 7-pdf maker will be able to recognise what is inside the file, since this is proprietary and can be opened only with very expensive special software software. This is a graphic file, but it contains also other things. It definitely can not convert any file into pdf, since it needs at least to be able to open them to see what is inside and what has to be converted.Įxample: I have a binary file called interface.pcbdoc

Open office, and also the 7-pdf maker, use the ability of one part of the open office, simply to open and read, thus be able to analyze, certain most common pictures as jpg or bmp, document formats as doc etc. If you want convert html page into pdf, well thats one thing, html is one way of describing a page, pdf other, widely known formats, conversion between those is not a problem. It is unfortunately not so simple to convert *anything* into pdf.
