Templates

Templates are used to automatically add page elements to all pages in a document or section. This is useful for things like header and footer. There are two types of templates that can be applied. These are document wide templates and section wide templates. By default, a page will use both the document and section template if they are set. For information on how to break a document into sections and apply a section template, see the Document Sectioning topic.

DynamicPDF™ Generator v3.0.1 for COM/ActiveX includes two template classes:

Template

The Template class is used to add Page Element to all pages in the section or document.

Even / Odd Template

The EvenOddTemplate class is used to add different Page Elements to even or odd pages in the section or document.

Document Templates

Document templates are applied by creating a Template class, adding page elements to it, then setting it to the Document's Template property. All page elements within this template will appear in the background of the other contents of the PDF.

[VBScript]
Dim MyTemplate
Set MyTemplate = MyDocument.SetTemplate
MyTemplate.AddLabel "Header", 0, 0, 200, 12

Even / Odd Templates

Even / Odd templates are applied by adding separate elements to both Odd and Even pages. All page elements within the Odd template and Even template will appear in the background on Odd pages and Even pages respectively.
