Years ago, I thought I was pretty cool for knowing enough about PostScript to be able to write a tool to import simple EPS and PostScript files into Director as vector shape data (PS2VS).
Now that I’m old and all of my creativity has dried up, I can only look admiringly on as people move into areas I thought about but never managed to explore. Specifically, Daniel Nelson and Valentin Schmidt, who have both posted code demos and libraries showing how to generate PDF files with Lingo.
Check out Daniel’s BlueJade demo page or download Valentin’s latest PDF Class library.
P.S. Valentin also has a Windows-only PDF-creation Xtra!
P.P.S. Daniel’s got a set of vector shape import scripts that beat PS2VS on speed, too.
