pdfgen on Microcontroller

[devtranszio]

Hi, we like to create .pdf file in USB stick through 32bit microcontroller. Is this library will support for it? like in Embedded Systems.

There's no reason it wouldn't work, but it does depend on some libc features that you might not have on an embedded system - specifically dynamic memory (malloc, free etc...) and file operations (fopen, fwrite etc...). Assuming you've got these, or similar work-alikes, it should be possible to get it running.

If you're making a big PDF, especially if it involves images, be aware that it might require quite a bit of memory. Are you using a standard RTOS? What is the microcontroller?

Hi Andre Renaud, thanks for the response. We are using Microchip PIC32MX595 series and it has 512Kb of Flash and 96kb of RAM also we did not try with RTOS. May be, we will try with FreeRTOS.
