Detail

Yes, you can create a PDF document with text and data from a database without any problem. You can add text using the Label or TextArea page elements. You can refer to the help documentation at http://www.cete.com/Support/NET_Help_Library_07_03/ceTe.DynamicPDF~ceTe.DynamicPDF.PageElements.Label.html, http://www.cete.com/Support/NET_Help_Library_07_03/ceTe.DynamicPDF~ceTe.DynamicPDF.PageElements.TextArea.html. You can also add the interactive form fields to the PDF documents so that you can fill the fields with data from a database later. You can refer to the form fields at http://www.cete.com/Support/NET_Help_Library_07_03/ceTe.DynamicPDF~ceTe.DynamicPDF.PageElements.Forms_namespace.html. If you do not want the above fields to be edited by the users then you can make them readonly by setting the IsReadOnly property of the fields. Also you can add labels in place of these fields by using the CreateLabel method of the PdfDocument object. You can refer to the form flattening topic http://www.cete.com/Support/NET_Help_Library_07_03/Form%20Flattening.html.
