The pdflib and all its methods, properties and error codes are
described on these pages. This is a reference documentation, not a
programming guide. Please refer to the example(s) that come with the
EASY pdflib to get things started.
The pdflib includes the following components:
../sysmod/.mod – tdbmodule containing procedures to create a PDF-document;
../fonts/Courier.fm – font file for Courier font;
../fonts/Courier-Bold.fm – font file for Courier Bold font;
../fonts/Courier-Oblique.fm – font file for Courier Oblique font;
../fonts/Courier-BoldOblique.fm– font file for Courier Bold Oblique font;
../fonts/Helvetica.fm – font file for Helvetica font;
../fonts/Helvetica-Bold.fm – font file for Helvetica Bold font;
../fonts/Helvetica-Oblique.fm – font file for Helvetica Oblique font;
../fonts/Helvetica-BoldOblique.fm – font file for Helvetica Bold Oblique font;
../fonts/Times-Roman.fm – font file for Times-Roman font;
../fonts/Times-Bold.fm – font file for Times Bold font;
../fonts/Times-Italic.fm – font file for Times Italic font;
../fonts/Times-BoldItalic.fm – font file for Times Bold Italic font;
../fonts/Symbol.fm – font file for Symbol font;
../fonts/ZapfDingbats.fm – font file for Symbol font;
../symbols/Symbols.txt
– file containing symbols that have been changed for correct display of
some special chars such as German umlauts and symbols \, %, (, ), >,
<, [, ], {,}.
../export/ – directory to save PDF-documents;
../fonts/ – directory containing font files;
../images/ – directory containing image files to be inserted into PDF-documents;
../symbols/ – directory containing symbol files
../sysmod/ – directory containing files with functions to create PDF-document;
The
aim - to have PDF-funcions that provide the possibility to create
PDF-files and use them for putting out information equally with
TXT-files using tdbengine. Providing the ability to create
PDF-documents is realized
by four blocks of functions: general and font functions, text, graphic
and image output functions. All of them have the ability of error
handling.
