or

Solution 2: VeryPDF HTML Converter Command Line (htmltools.exe)

Regards,

=======================================

Hi,

These products are all can convert HTML file to PDF file from command line.

>>Solution 1: DocConverter COM (HTML2PDF.exe) + PDFcamp Printer

The DocConverter COM (HTML2PDF.exe) + PDFcamp Printer solution will use virtual printer technology to convert HTML file to PDF file, it will 100% convert all contents from your HTML file to PDF file, it can support Javascript, Java Applet, SVG, Flash and iFrame codes during HTML to PDF conversion.

For example, you can run following command line to convert a HTML file which contains Javascript, Java Applet, SVG, Flash or iFrame codes to PDF file,

(You need wait more than 10000 millisecond before convert such HTML files)

"html2pdf.exe" "C:/javascript_test.htm" "C:/output.pdf" "EnableSupportApplet=yes,DelayTimeForPrintApplet=10000"

>>Solution 2: VeryPDF HTML Converter Command Line (htmltools.exe)

htmltools.exe does render the HTML file to PDF file directly, it is not depend on virtual printer, its speed it better, but it doesn't support Flash and ActiveX which embedded in your HTML page.

VeryPDF PCL Converter

Posted on

This product was purchased by a company I support.  Currently we’re passing .PCL to it to produce a PDF.  Your product works beautifully.  Recently the client has requested include and image or logo in the document.  Do you have a recommended method for handling this? 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
=====================================
Hi, 

Thanks for your message, you can use PCL to PDF Converter to convert your PCL file to PDF file first, then you can use our PDF Stamp Command Line or PDF Stamp SDK to add the stamps or logos to the resultant PDF file, the PDF Stamp product can be downloaded from following web page,

Thank you for the information regarding the PDF Stamp Program.  I downloaded your DEMO and it worked perfectly.  However, the image that it stamps onto the PDF comes out VERY grainy.  If I open the image in paint, photoshop or fireworks it’s hi-res and looks great.  I’ve tried resizing the image and changing the file extension from .JPG to .PNG and to a .TIF.  My results are all the same…

I’m extremely interested in purchasing this product but want to make sure I can get a high clarity image to merge on the .PDF document.
=============================
Can you please email to us your sample image file in question? After we reproduced your problem in our system, we will figure out a solution to you shortly.

Thank you,

The resolution of this image is too low, you need use a high resolution JPEG file as stamp, for example, a high quality JPEG file at 300DPI or 600DPI, you can stamp this high quality JPEG file to PDF file perfectly.

Is there any way to make this work for the local system account?

Many Thanks
===========================================
Hi,

"local system account" is not an interactive user account, it has some limitations, we suggest you may run the conversion inside Administrator user account to instead of "local system account", then you will get it work properly.

Thank you!

Thanks for you help. That does work, however I need to save it in EMF format and Adobe won't let me do that. I have figured out how to add the text in PDF editor, but it is very time consuming so I was hoping there was an easier way to get it to show up.
