Using PDFLib templates
Often, especially on multi-page PDF documents a consistent look and feel is desired.
Rather than re-drawing the same basic things on every page templates can be used to
and then placed as needed. Creating a template is much like creating a PDF page:
- • Begin a new Template (pdf_begin_template())
- • Render the content for the template
- • Close the Template (pdf_end_template())
- • Place the template on a PDF page as necessary as an image (pdf_place_image())
Note: Templates must be created outside the context of a page (must be called before pdf_begin_page()
and after pdf_end_page()
