PDF template questions

Friday 07 May 2004 2:35:28 pm

I am trying to get the PDF on-the-fly generation to work on my site. I am curently on eZ3.3-4.

The questions I have are:
1. Like the footer that is shown on the bottom of all pages, is it possible to include header on all pages? I tried this code but didn't work

{section show=$pdf_root_template|eq(1)}
  {pdf(pageNumber, hash( identifier, "main", start, 1 ) )}
		{include uri="design:content/pdf/newheader.tpl"}
{/section}

This is what I have in the newheader.tpl file

{pdf(header, hash( level, 1, text, 'ProSoft Technology'|wash(pdf), size, 26, align, left, page, "all" ) )}

2. How to do lists? - HTML unordered lists.
I have created a override file for li.tpl file

{pdf(text, '   · '|wash(pdf))}
{pdf(text, $content|wash(pdf))}
{pdf(newline)}

It works but not exactly the way an HTML list shows up.

3. How to handle the <p> tag correctly?

4. Is there any tag to handle margins on the page?

5. In the PDF template operators tutorial there is not moention on how to draw a line. ( like in the footer)

Please help me out. I need to get this to work.

TIA

Hi

Please see http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/reference/template_operators/pdf .
I've updated the documentation there.
