I believe there was a document posted in shareware that describes a bit more of how to use PDFCreator. Keep in mind that PDFCreator, while quite useful, is pretty low-level. You’ll need to do a fair amount of code, depending on what the PDF needs to look like, to create the PDF.

Hi Kishore,
As reamon stated it is not a straight conversion tool like doc to XMLString. You need to have a base knowledge of how the resulting PDF layout should look like and based on that you can use the various fuctions to add various elements such as list, paragraph, table,. etc to the pdf document.

I had used this package just for POC to create a simple PDF doc with a table containing the list of projects deployed to production and their info. Just for a quick start pseudo:

  1. start with beginPDF
  2. addElements
  3. …
  4. …
  5. addElementstodocument
  6. endPDF
  7. convertToFile

This is just one way to do it I guess but it would help you to try different things and figure our further.

Hope this helps.
