<PDF-output>

Starts the PDF export.

Name of the output PDF file.

When multiple <PDF-OUTPUT> tags are present, a distinct new PDF file is created for each tag (version 8.20).

Syntax : <PDF-OUTPUT=C:\myReport.pdf>

Note: other PDF tags (title, passwords, keywords...) must be specified BEFORE the PDF-OUTPUT.

<PDF-subject>

Subject of the PDF file.

Syntax: <PDF-SUBJECT=subject>

Example: <PDF-SUBJECT=vpxPrint Demo>

<PDF-keywords>

Document keywords.

Syntax: <PDF-KEYWORDS=keywords list>

Example: <PDF-KEYWORDS=Print, PROGRESS, DLL>

<PDF-ownerPassword>

Password to edit an encrypted PDF file.

Syntax: <PDF-ownerPassword=password>

Example: <PDF-ownerPassword=vpxPrint>

<PDF-userPassword>

Password to encrypt the file. If you don't provide a password the rights for the user can be still restricted using <PDF-ENCRYPT>. But the user will not be prompted for a password.

Syntax: <PDF-userPassword=password>

Example: <PDF-userPassword=vpxPrintUser>

<PDF-fonts>

TrueType fonts can be embedded in the PDF file or not. If fonts are not embedded in the PDF file, display of text may be wrong if the fonts are not installed on the PC. On another hand, embedded fonts causes the PDF files to be larger (the size of a font file is usually ~ 150KB). Embedding also slows the creation process down.

Syntax:                   <PDF-FONTS= EMBED                        

|   SYMBOL                        

|   BASE14                   >

where: EMBED     full fonts.

SYMBOL   only symbol true type fonts. (like WingDings...)

BASE14     does not use true type. When this mode is selected you can only use Arial, Courier New and Times New Roman fonts.

NOTE :

•The default value embeds a characters subset.

The full font is not embedded into the PDF file. This option results in a smaller PDF file size and a real representation of the original document.

•You can use EMBED when using specific character sets, accentuated characters and specific fonts. Check this setting if you don't see exact representation of specific characters.

<PDF-enable>

Syntax: <PDF-ENABLE= <option-list> >

Option-list: list of comma delimited options.

Available options:

•PRINT   :     The user may print.

•CHANGE:     The user may change the file.

•COPY     :     The user may copy from the text.

Example: <PDF-ENABLE=PRINT,CHANGE>

Note:

When a <PDF-ENABLE> tag is encountered, then <PDF-ENCRYPT> is automatically included by vpxPrint.

<PDF-encrypt>

Activates encryption.

Syntax: <PDF-ENCRYPT>

<PDF-top>

Sets the top margin. The value is expressed in mm or inches

Syntax: <PDF-TOP=10.3mm>          

       or <PDF-TOP=0.5i>

Note: The value specified is a shift from the top added to the normal row position.

<PDF-left>

Sets the left margin. The value is expressed in mm or inches

Syntax: <PDF-LEFT=10.3mm>          

       or <PDF-LEFT=0.5i>

Note: The value specified is a shift from the left added to the normal column position.

<PDF-exclude>

Excludes embedding of given fonts

Syntax: <PDF-EXCLUDE=comma_delimited_list_of_fonts>          

Example: <PDF-EXCLUDE=Arial,Courier New>

Note: The excluded font must be present on the target system to get correct rendering by Acrobat Reader.

<PDF-outline>

Creates a new outline entry in the PDF file (version 8.20).

Syntax: <PDF-OUTLINE=name,

          TITLE=outline_title,

           [PARENT=parent_name]

                       -OR-

           [PREVIOUS=previous_name]>

Example:

<PDF-OUTLINE=root,TITLE=Main report>

<PDF-OUTLINE=page1,TITLE=Page 1,PARENT=root>

<PDF-OUTLINE=item1,TITLE=Skins,PARENT=page1>

<PDF-OUTLINE=page2,TITLE=Page 2,PARENT=root>

<PDF-A>

Switches to PDF-A file format (version 9).
