Dynamic Generation of PDFs?
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2003
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 52093
interpreted = N
texte = Hello, all The webserver for the company I work for is currently running WebDNA 5.1 on a Windows 2000 machine. I am curious as to if it is possible to dynamically generate PDFs on the fly from other dynamic shtml pages. Also, if it is possible to dynamically generate these files, is it also possible to insert images, as well? What I am hoping for is a way to create a page with similar formatting to this page, http://www.RowmanLittlefield.test/ISBN/0742527492. However, the text and cover image would change depending on the book that was being displayed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've already tried the "PDF-o-matic" by Easy Software, and that didn't work. I also tried using a trick where a skeleton PDF is created with WebDNA tags, then a file is written to using the template as an Include. That also didn't work as it only generates damaged and unusable files.
