I'm using xhtml2pdf to convert html text to pdf. If I use from the command line, I can do this:
cat /var/www/cgi-bin/salida.html | xhtml2pdf - - or this: xhtml2pdf - - < /var/www/cgi-bin/salida.html The parameters "- -" mean, take input from StdIn and send output to StdOut. When I try to execute the same using TProcess, it apparently never receives the input. Here's a modified snippet I copied from http://wiki.freepascal.org/Executing_External_Programs procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var lProcess: TProcess; lStr: TStringList; lText: string; begin lProcess := TProcess.Create(nil); lStr := TStringList.Create; try lStr.LoadFromFile('/var/www/cgi-bin/salida.html'); lProcess.Options := [poUsePipes, poStderrToOutPut]; lProcess.CommandLine := '/usr/bin/xhtml2pdf - -'; lProcess.Execute; lText := lStr.Text; lProcess.Input.Write(lText[1], Length(lText)); lStr.Clear; lStr.LoadFromStream(lProcess.Output); lStr.SaveToFile('output.pdf'); finally lStr.Free; lProcess.Free; end; end; -- Leonardo M.
