Print pdf/word documents without using any application in LabVIEW

[soumyas]

Hey Guys,

Is there any way to print word/pdf documents without using any application like Microsoft word or pdf reader. means even if i don't have any of these application in my windows ,I should be able to print it .

Thanks: Soumya

This would require at least a renderer for the formats, and AFAIK there's no such thing in LabVIEW.

You can probably get it to work without installing any application.

I know GhostScript can be used without installing, and it will print PDFs.

There might be other APIs or applications that can do this (over .NET, command line, AX, etc.) that don't need installing.

Do you need to view the document as well as print it? If so that's going to be a little tricky.

There is a portable version of OpenOffice that might work to view Word docs, and it may have a PDF renderer as well.

I'm a newbie here. I need some kind of help from you guys. I need a PDF editor for free. How can I do that?

That depends how this relates to LabVIEW.
