Alternatives to ActivePDF?

Are there any real alternatives to ActivePDF? We've have a version (might be
a bit outdated) that we've used off and on, but it's reliability seemed
sporadic at best. (but, maybe that was the way the software was
installed/maintained on our end...)

What we'd like to do is have some sort of software that will accept a Word
(or Office) document and convert it to PDF on the server. Ideally handling a
few things like accessibility settings and such.

Not free, but really good:

I have written a small application in VB6 -- a kind of special purpose text editor. There seem to be many annoying glitches in VB's rich text box control, however. Performance on larger files has suffered as a result of various work-arounds I have had to use. And there some very annoying, nonstandard "features." Are there any C++ alternatives I could use? Dan

Now that I have a better grasp of the scope and capabilities of the C++ Standard Library, I understand that products such as Qt actually provide much of the same functionality through their own libraries. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. AFAIK, most of Qt is compatable with the Standard Library. That is, QLT can interoperate with STL, and you can convert back and forth between std::string and Qt::QString, etc. Are there any...

Our Mainframe DBA insists that the IDTHTOIN parameter be set to 600 so that all idle threads timeout after 10 minutes. This is causing a particular packaged application that expects to hold idle threads open for as long as it wants problems. From an application standpoint there is not an acceptable workaround that would allow the application to create connections dynamically at this point.

Hi guys I've used an Application_BeginRequest function in my global.asax page to implement some URL rewriting functionality on our website.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
