LiveCode Forums.

Hello,

I came to livecode just over a year ago, hung around a bit but wasn't quite interested in it, I wanted to do something different for mobile. I now know programming quite well, and the syntax comes fairly natural.

I am back, this time with an idea in mind, and I am wondering if it is possible with livecode.

What I have received is a request for a program, and I'm looking for a way to build it. What is happening right now, is the client has a bunch of numbers and data from paper, transferred to a word document and then into a pdf. Is it possible, to have a bunch of text fields in which you put data, and when finished if automatically lays it all out nice, and exports to a PDF? Is this possible with livecode? If it isn't, I don't want to spend too much time and money pursuing this if it is a big issue. Exporting to PDF is the hardest part.

Second, payment options. Is it possible to pay for 6 months or so to just use windows and Mac OS? I don't need mobile, just those two operating systems. I don't want to spend too much, but I would like to know.

Hi.

Do you know LiveCode programming quite well, or something else?

In any case, go with LiveCode. This is a simple project, one you could get mostly going in an hour or two with reasonable competence in the language.

Really.

LiveCode comes bundled with a print-to-PDF external that makes the sort of PDF generation you're looking for a breeze.

Now that the code is going open source, the pricing options will be changing. I don't know all the details yet, and the new pricing isn't yet available at the web site. You may want to write support@runrev.com for details on the package you're looking for.

Thank you very much for letting me know about this, I will have lots of learning and work ahead of me.
