Creating pdf file in Rebol/Red - pdf

I need to create a pdf file of A4 sized page which will have a black and white image and some text. Can I create a pdf file in Rebol or Red programming language?
If not possible directly, what is the best way to do it- create an image file which can be printed by external programs? Thanks for your help.

There are some scripts available e.g. pdf-maker.r

There is also a Rebol to Haru PDF binding that you can try in addition to Gabriele's PDF-Maker2.
And some of us used a Postscript dialect that allowed us to generate PS directly, and then use something like Ghostscript to convert the PS to PDF.

How to replace a specific image within a pdf?

I have a pdf with 3 images
I want to find each image and replace it with another image
I saw in the pdf the original paths under xmpMM:Ingredients:
I tried to change it via notepad++ but it looks like the images are already embedded and changing the path does nothing.
How can I find each image and replace it with another image?
The xmp stuff is information only. The actual images are embedded streams in the pdf file. Finding the correct streams to replace and replacing them isn't a simple problem, and can't be done with notepad. You'll need a library / toolkit that can modify PDFs, like https://pdf-lib.js.org/ or similar.
The PDF file looks like an Illustrator file, which adds another layer of weirdness - Illustrator can write PDFs that have both PDF and Illustrator versions of the content, and you see one in Acrobat and the other in Illustrator.
It's probably easier to recreate the PDF from whatever source produced it.

How to generate PDF file using X++?

Can I create simple pdf file in x++? In this pdf I would like to have for example select from one table or simple static text.
MorphX reports can be saved to PDF by using the proper print settings beforehand.
SSRS reports can do this also using similar tricks.
Another way is to generate RTF, then let Word do the PDF creation. Silly, but maybe the PDF is smaller or better looking.
It is possible, but not simple, to generate PDF directly by using third party .Net components.
Some weeks ago, I used the Evo HTML to PDF library http://www.evopdf.com/ to convert simple HTML templates to PDF and it worked great. It can convert plain text as well, so maybe it could be useful for you.
Natively, AX hasn't anything to create PDF files.

How to convert marathi data from pdf to excel in proper format

There seem to be problems in the way PDF stores unicode devnagri text. Try this alternative route: convert your PDF to an image. Can use an online tool or downloaded, or if on linux use this command in terminal:
for f in *.pdf; do convert -density 200 "$f" "${f}_200dpi.jpg"; done
change the density from 200 to other as per need. Each page from your document should be converted into an image file. For a windows tool, try https://www.pdfill.com/pdf_tools_free.html
Then, go to http://www.i2ocr.com/free-online-hindi-ocr, upload the image and convert. That uses OCR (optical character recognition).
check the font in your PDF and try making it available to the word document.
I think you dont have perticular fonts which are used in PDF
In Adobe Reader -- -- File menu > Properties > Fonts tab gives you a list of all fonts used in the document.

I wrote an article on PDF to text conversion issues. If you look at some of the existing PDF to Word conversion tools (ie BCL) you will see what is realistically possible with a lot of work.
It’s not possible to convert a generic PDF back into a text format. I guess you could render the PDF into images and create a DOC from those, but that doesn’t sound very useful.

Selection in PDF files

I'm working on an ebook conversion script.
When I create a PDF file using emacs ps-print-buffer-with-faces and then ps2pdf, I can select the words one by one on my ebook (Sony PRS 600). Same when I use Microsoft Word to print to PDF.
Yet, when I create a PDF using pdflatex, or latex -> dvips -> ps2pdf, I can't select but blocks of words, separated by punctuation signs.
It seems that there is something in the structure of the PDF files generated by latex that ebooks don't understand -- but what?
Do you know a switch to tell latex to behave properly, or a workaround?
Thanks!
CFP.
Latex doesn't use a white space character to separate words. That's the problem.
