Create PDF (multipage table) from Livecode

Post by ThomasFireheart » Fri Mar 13, 2015 7:53 pm

Has anyone had any success creating a PDF that includes table data that could span multiple pages from a Livecode card script ?

In PHP, I would simply use TCPDF to do something like this:

http://www.tcpdf.org/examples/example_011.pdf
http://www.tcpdf.org/examples/example_011.phps

Is it possible to dynamically create a PDF file - where the data is stylized and represented in tables as well as possibly spanning multiple pages ?

If you are an experienced developer and this has piqued your interest, please get in touch with me.

There are many ways:
  • formattedrect
  • number of lines of basic table field
  • number of lines of basic datagrid
  • revPrintText
