How to set PageDimensions as a final! step

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi everybody!

While creating PDF-files everybody will set the PageDimensions in the first steps of the creation process.

But in my case the PDF-PageHeight should depend on the content.  

Is there a way to  create a big page-height   at the starting point of the PDF-creation-process, and at the end to reduce the page-height to the necessary height, without repeating all the drawing-commands?

Using "QP.SetPageDimensions" just before calling "QP.SaveFile" results only in an empty PDF.

Any help will be appreciated.

Fritz

	Hi Fritz! What's the other way round ... ? Don't use SetPageDimensions. If it's missing then the page-dimensions will be as wide and high as the included objects are ;-) Best regards, Ingo
