[Closed] New Article on LoneRobot.com – Creating PDF documents with MXS and DotNet

Cool, not sure how or why I would ever want to do that but cool none the less.

Hi Paul,

I agree the application is limited, but wanted to share anyway as I thought PDFSharp was a great piece of open source programming.

My thoughts for other uses were to allow a dynamic help file generation within a script, or even somehow generating PDF documents from a shot database (perhaps to track the current state of a production or episode).

But mostly, it was to allow me to create something a little more than just a text file from within max.

The best thing is that if you want, you can
Maybe it’s usefull for generating API docs, or function definition DOCtype docs.
Scan over your maxscript lib and built a nice readable/printable reference of all your hard work

Thanks for posting!!

indeed! cheers Johan!

Thanks for posting this! I just recently realized the vast amount of free dotNet stuff out there which we can all use directly in MAXScript… – well, better late than never.

Hi Martin,

I often think the same – I see something cool, and think “I wonder how I can port that into max!”

BTW, love your Gizmo control script!
