BASICS
Prerequisite: you must be familiar with vpxPrint general coding.
The PDF plugin is very easy to manage, <PDF-OUTPUT=fileName> is the minimum code to insert in your .xpr file.
But you can customize the PDF file with additional tags, see below.
1. The additional tags:
The only mandatory tag to use is the <PDF-OUTPUT> tag, which defines the output file name. Some additional tags will help you to customize your PDF.
2. The vpxPrint interface:
The <PREVIEW=PDF> option uses the Acrobat Reader engine to preview the report instead of the standard vpxPrint preview.
LIMITATIONS
Limitations :
Due to the nature and functionality of PDF and vpxPrint, differences may exist between the outputs. The following applies:
| 1. | <AT> doesn't provide exact location as with vpxPrint, a scaling occurs in PDF. |
| 2. | Margins are different. You can try to adjust them with specific PDF tags but you are not granted to get exactly the same result. |
Have a look at <PDF-EXACT> tag.
