Single PDF Output

Hi, there!

We are in need of a control that would allow us to take data from
multiple Word and Excel files and generate a single PDF output file.
(Our system is written in Visual Basic 6.0.) This process must run for
users without any special privileges. Can you recommend a product that
can do this?

I have looked at a number of them:
Nevia - requires special privileges
Win2PDF - somewhat expensive
LeadTools ePrint - trying to figure out the append functionality
Metasoft Imager - requires a two step process (not good for our
process)
Amyuni PDF Writer - currently researching further (excellent customer
service!!!)

Is there any other product I should be looking at? Please let me know
at your convenience.

Thanks,
Michaela

Hi why not try PDF-XChange or the Developers kit (Royalty Free)

allows this and has some sophisticated Job Management options.

Ghostscript. It can be run as commandline, GUI or behind a print queue.
Does a very good job.

Also you can put it behind a web page (PHP etc). Either pass the document
and the desired PDF path name, or use the webform to set the destination of
PDFs from a particular queue from a particular workstation.

Source and binaries for most popular OSs and for Windows.
