I'd like to feed a long (multiple pages worth) string into

qp->DrawTextBox(30,30,600,700, sLongString.w_str(), 1);

and have it create as many PDF pages as needed. But it only adds text to one page. Even if i use something like

qp->NewPages(5);

Is this possible?

PS. Ive tried this too

qp->DrawText(30,300, sLongString.w_str());

Thanks!

Hi Dev,

the library (and i think all the competitors as well) and the filetype pdf is page based.
What you can do is separate the long text into parts with your own algorithm and then try it again but "page by page".

Cheers and welcome here,
Ingo

Since I see you are not using wrapping, DrawTextBox (with option 1) returns the number of lines actually inserted in the box, so you should be able to strip these off your string and put the remainder on a new page, until you are done. There are functions to determine the extent which would be inserted on wrapped and HTML text, but it's then a little harder to work out where to break your text in this case.
