Thanks... I will...

>Image and document processing - is what I have been doing the last year. I think I took the simplest and cheapest approach - to use Kodak Imaging ActiveX controls. They allow you to scan, display and print images. At this moment all images are stored in TIFF format, but PDF format also worth trying.

>>Hi,
>>
>>Up till now I have not had a lot of demand for image/document processing in my application, and frankly I still don't.
>>
>>I do have to present the users with some specific mostly handwritten documents that I scan in and present as a jpeg in the vfp native image control.
>>
>>But then ... users are becoming more demanding... Not only do they may want to page through a multiple page document, they also may want to print them, send them via mail... and select a set of them to be faxed, printed or what have you.
>>
>>We have a HP9000 email sending system that generates .PDF files (and that to date I have not used for this application).
>>
>>So I'm left with the task to allow my framework to do all the functions I mentioned. I thought I'd look at Adobe Acrobat 5.0. They seem to deliver classes that will do what I need, the problem is that they deliver so many :)...
>>
>>Anybody been through this, would be ready to share his/her experience and or advice what the best way to get there would be?
>>
>>TIA
