Hi I'm converting a c decompression code to freebasic, whith plenty of macros after preprocessing result, i've got many parts of code i do not understant , as the following if (!((bits=bits&0x7fffffff? (resbits=bits,bits+bits) : (src+=4,resbits=*((Ulong *)(src-4)),(resbits<<1)+1)),resbits>>31)) ...

In my quest of very litle compression tools, a new one : aPLib v1.1.1 from Joergen Ibsen http://www.ibsensoftware.com very complete static libs /dll ... static libs easy to interface with freebasic win or linux in 32/64 bits not as efficient on compression ratio /speed as minz lib but very light lib...

Thank's jj2007 for testing.

What version did you test?
I'am interrested on the one i am not tested at all the linux32.

Because i've created that specific version on gcc64 just using the -m32 flag , is it correct?

miniz is providing a very interresting code in c to compress/decompress with comparable compress ratio/speed as zlib, but with very little size : on windows 25ko compared to zlib static lib 128ko original code here https://github.com/richgel999/miniz I wanted to convert to freebasic but it is too co...

To continue, that subject, i've done some evolution on the lib and now it can support better the different types of source files to convert to pdf. using that evolution of the lib , i've done a GUI interface to work with multiples files to convert to pdf, heve a look here https://github.com/marpon/P...

the RtlDecompressBuffer function does not enable format COMPRESSION_FORMAT_XPRESS_HUFF you have to use the RtlDecompressBufferEx function #Include "file.bi" #include "string.bi" 'change here for tests '================================================== #Define _MY__FORMAT_ COMPRE...

for people who want the zip static libs 32 or 64 mingw

with the example adapted to work with.

@MrSwiss thank's for your interrest... From my point of view, there is something important missing, if the aim is, to: replace tool(s) like PDFCreator, which is "generation of unique file-name(s)", aka: "file-name" + "save-date" + "save-time" + ".PDF"...

You are true again, it happens with the raw text file types , my conversion is probably not totally compliant with the last pdf versions, i am using a very rudimentary 1.1/1.2 pdf format to do that quickly. I will see if i can improve that. I know i could use also for that raw text , 'Microsoft Prin...

Made a simple cmd line tool to convert various files to pdf ( using the static lib to be found in the link under) can work stand alone for raw txt format files and also with the most used picture formats but can also use the win10 'Microsoft Print to Pdf' virtual printer as companion to convert almo...

last updated version 1.2 in https://github.com/marpon/Print_to_Pdf the main changes are (see in Print2Pdf.bi file) the returned error codes ; the new function to check if 'Microsoft Print to Pdf' in available ( group check if win10 version and if virtual printer installed) a new sample code Print2Pd...

here you have a test to evaluate the different behaviour we can have with console.

updated version in Github
the old version removed

the example file corrected in first topic.


Now, still searching a simple way to merge pdf into 1.

@jj2007 True, sorry , I've put the wrong debug libs. i'll will try to put the right final working libs / .bi file and example of use in next 4 or 5 hours. right now i'm blocked on one subject to continue more features to the lib : How to merge existing pdf into one, did not found any simple code in ...

static lib in 32 or 64 version to print to pdf. In fact convert files to pdf, with and without need of virtual printer 'Microsoft Print to Pdf' can be found here, libs https://github.com/marpon/Print_to_Pdf an example of use , very simple code corrected version last edited 09 march 2019 13h00 Paris ...
