How do I create a pdf or MS Word file/report?

by John Nganga · in Game Design and Creative Issues · 05/18/2009 (8:01 pm) · 6 replies

I want to create a report from my game in a formatted form. I'm already creating one as a simple text file, but I need an output that would support graphics such as word or pdf.

Anyone know how to create a pdf or word output from Torque? I have TGE 1.52.
Thanks!

Never heard of anyone creating those formats out of Torque, but you can probably find the file format specs on the web and create a class to output to them. Would make a great resource too!

There's a fantastic article from Joel on Software about Word support:

It's worth a read but one of his points is that you can make a file that is Word 3.0 compatible which is far simpler to work with and every copy of Word out there will read it just fine.

Thanks guys. I think I'll output HTML, it should work pretty well for what I have to do.
