A PDF Creation Component by ceTe Software

::Features

• True PDF Generation. DynamicPDF™ Generator Classic generates PDF code from scratch. It is not a printer driver and there is no need to import an existing PDF document. PDF documents are created dynamically in much the same way that ASP or ColdFusion create HTML pages dynamically.


• High Performance. DynamicPDF™ Generator Classic is a highly efficient and lightweight COM/ActiveX component written in C++.


• ASP/IIS Optimization. When using the DrawToASP method of the document object, DynamicPDF™ Generator Classic generates the PDF in memory and outputs it directly to ASP's response object. This results in superior performance and avoids the need for costly temp files.


• Flexibility. DynamicPDF™ Generator Classic can be used from any language that supports COM objects. Generated PDF documents can be returned as a byte array or saved directly to disk. This allows the component to be used from ColdFusion as well as in Visual Basic, C++, and .NET applications.


• Extensibility. DynamicPDF™ Generator Classic can be used as a base component for other products. An example of this is included with the install (i.e. DPDF_QuadChart). Our DynamicPDF™ ReportWriter component is another example.


• Easy to Learn. Our simple object model reduces the learning curve for DynamicPDF™ Generator Classic. You will be generating your own dynamic PDF documents in minutes.


• Page Numbering. The current page number and total pages can be added to any page in the document. If your document is broken up into sections your pages can be numbered within that section as well.


• Font Embedding. TrueType and Type 1 fonts can be embedded in the document.


• Built in Font Metrics. The font metrics for the core 14 PDF fonts are compiled into DynamicPDF™ Generator Classic, making font metric calculations highly efficient.


• Text Continuation. The text area object can easily continue remaining text to a new column or to the next page.


• Page Element Rotation. Text and /Images can be rotated at any angle on the page.


• 100% Compliant With PDF Standard. DynamicPDF™ Generator Classic is 100% compliant with Adobe's published PDF standard for PDF version 1.3. Generated PDF documents are viewable from any viewer that complies with these standards.

::Object Oriented Design

- DynamicPDF™ Generator Classic has three types of objects:
- Document Object. This is the first object that is created and represents a PDF document.
- Page Objects. Page objects are added to the Document object and represent a page in the PDF document.
- Page Element Objects. Page element objects are added to a page and represent different elements of the page. There are currently four page element objects: Image object, Line object, Rectangle object, and TextArea object.

Licensing
