// function that creates BytescoutPDF instance (defined in BytescoutPDF.js script which have to be included into the same page) // then calls API methods and properties to create PDF document // and returns created BytescoutPDF object instance // this CreatePDF() function is called from Sample.html // IsInternetExplorer8OrLower parameter indicates if we use IE8 or lower so we CAN'T use images (as it requires HTML5 Canvas available in IE9 or higher). Other browsers should be working fine // IMPORTANT ABOUT IMAGES: // When using Firefox or IE, pdf generation may fail because images are not accessible when pdf generation works // the solution for this issue is to preload images in main HTML document before running PDF generation // to preload images, put them into hidden div block "pdfreportimages" - you can see it in the sample.html right after opening tag function CreatePDF(IsInternetExplorer8OrLower) { // create BytescoutPDF object instance var pdf = new BytescoutPDF(); // set document properties: Title, subject, keywords, author name and creator name pdf.propertiesSet("Sample document title", "Sample subject", "keyword1, keyword 2, keyword3", "Document Author Name", "Document Creator Name"); // add new page pdf.pageAdd(); pdf.textSetBoxPadding(3); // set text box pdf.textSetBox(50, 50, 500, 500); // and draw a rectangle around it pdf.graphicsDrawRectangle(50, 50, 500, 500); // add aligned text: pdf.textSetAlign(BytescoutPDF.LEFT); pdf.textAddToBox('Left aligned text: café, communiqué, fête, fiancée, mêlée, émigré, pâté, protégé; ', true); pdf.textSetAlign(BytescoutPDF.CENTER); pdf.textAddToBox('Center aligned text', true); pdf.textSetAlign(BytescoutPDF.RIGHT); pdf.textAddToBox('Right aligned text', true); pdf.textSetAlign(BytescoutPDF.JUSTIFIED); pdf.textAddToBox('Justfied text Justfied text Justfied text Justfied text Justfied text Justfied text Justfied text Justfied text', true); // return BytescoutPDF object instance return pdf; }
