startMetaPrintJob |
Boolean startMetaPrintJob () |
| Used for printing multiple things into the same PDF document. Starts a meta print job and all print calls made before ending the meta print job will be done into the same PDF document. If a file name is specified, then the PDF document is generated into that file. If no argument is specified, then the PDF document is stored in memory and can be retrieved when ending the meta print job and can be saved into a dataprovider, for example. |
| Returns Boolean |
Sample
//to print multiple forms to one pdf document (on file system).
var success = plugins.pdf_output.startMetaPrintJob('c:/temp/out.pdf')
if (success)
