Asynchronous AlivePDF – Kickoff
Hello Fellow AS3 Developer,
Probably You got here trough the project repository, so let me explain our goal with the Asynchronous version of AlivePDF:
As you probably know AlivePDF is a “ActionScript 3 Open-Source PDF Library – 100% client side PDF generation which makes you and your server happy”.
But there is one big problem with it: If you’re planning to add images to your PDF You’ll see that this library is not asynchronous, and if You add a lot of images in a row your application will hang and freeze until it finishes the process.
Our goal is to change this part of the library and make it work asynchronously.
Keep tuned since You’ll see a couple of push’s in the next weeks.
Nice work Diogo! I’ve recently added transparency support and was thinking about having a go at this myself, as this is a real problem when trying to produce large PDF’s.
Hi Diogo, how’s your work coming along? Any idea when you’ll have something up and running?
