Hi,

I have created a text to pdf converter. I would like to add a button which lets someone select a file rather than having to type the file name. Any ideas ?

Thank you very much, loztop.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Tk;
use PDF::Create;
use strict;
use warnings;

my $lab;
my $address = "Enter file name";
my $window = MainWindow->new;

$lab = $window->Label(-text => "Hello !")->pack;
$window->Entry(-textvariable => \$address )->pack;
$window->Button(-text => "Convert to pdf", -command => \&convert )->pa
+ck;
$window->Button(-text => "Quit", -command => \&finito )->pack;

MainLoop;
    
sub convert {

    my $height = 842;
    my $width = 595;
    
     my $result = index($address, '.');
    my $a = substr($address, 0, $result);
    $a = $a.'.pdf';

    my $pdf = new PDF::Create('filename' => $a );
    my $root = $pdf->new_page('MediaBox' => [ 0, 0, $width, $height ])
+;

    # Add a page which inherits its attributes from $root
    my $page = $root->new_page;

    # Prepare font
    my $f1 = $pdf->font('Subtype'  => 'Type1',
                        'Encoding' => 'WinAnsiEncoding',
                        'BaseFont' => 'Helvetica');

    my $vert = $height -12;
    my $FilePath = "access.txt";
    open(FILE, $address);
    
    while (my $line = <FILE>) {
           $page->string($f1, 10, 10,$vert, $line);
        $vert = $vert-12;
        if($vert<20){
            $page = $root->new_page;
            $vert = $height -12;
        }
    }
    close FILE; 
    $pdf->close;
    $lab -> configure(-text => "Congratulations $a has been created !"
+);
    $address = "Convert another one !"
}

sub finito{
    exit;
}
