PowerPDF is a set of visual and non-visual components, which can be used to create PDF documents.

The components were originally written by Takeshi Kanno.

The Lazarus port was done by Chtk and jesusrmx. Some Lazarus examples have been created by Xno.

The Delphi version of PowerPDF is licensed under the LGPL. The Lazarus port is as well.

PowerPDF for Lazarus can be downloaded from the Lazarus CCR SourceForge mirror or from here.

You can checkout the actual source from

https://lazarus-ccr.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lazarus-ccr/components/powerpdf

The commandline to do this is:

svn co https://lazarus-ccr.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lazarus-ccr/components/powerpdf

PowerPDF for Lazarus has been tested with Lazarus 0.9.10 and the 0.9.11 nightly builds. Earlier versions have been untested.

Unpack the .gz file to a place where Lazarus can find it (e.g. the components subdirectory).
Open the pack_powerpdf.lpk file in Lazarus.
(Click the Compile button only if don't want to install the component into the IDE.)
Click the Install button (make sure that also the .pas files are available).
Lazarus should restart.
Make sure PowerPDF (pack_powerpdf) was successfully installed by checking under the 'Components->Package Graph'
