DynamicPDF™ Generator For Java - Custom Page Element API
An exciting feature of DynamicPDF™ Generator for Java
is the ability to extend the object model. It includes a PageElement class that
can be used as a base class to develop custom Page Elements such as charting
and graphing objects. These can be written using the existing Page Element
objects or with vector based PDF code.
Further information on custom Page Element development is available in the help documentation that comes with Generator for Java.
