Does anyone know how to do this ? Please change your posting name. A TCanvas is just an interface to the Windows GDI, it has no memory of what you draw on it. The canvas is associated with a Windows device context, which may represent different output targets. A controls Canvas is associated with the device context of the window (which is part of the screen device), a bitmaps Canvas is associated with an in-memory device context backed by the bitmaps memory, a printers Canvas with the printer device managed by the printer driver. It is the device that provides the memory to store the result of the drawing operations. The easiest way to generate Postscript or PDF output is to use a printer driver that can produce this format. For a program such a driver looks like any other printer, and so it has a canvas to draw on. There are also 3rd-party components that allow you to create PDF files in code without going through a printer driver.
