Output: Creates a PDF `[ 10 ]`

Description

Creates a PDF file which relects all the commands which have been issued since NewPdfy() was called. It takes a single parameter which is a character string pointing at the name of the PDF file to be created.

Developper Notes:

For large size installations, it is preferable to use FlushPdf() which takes additional parameters for logging and for partial flushes.
For z/OS, DDNAMEs are supported provided they are prefixed by string "DD:". Unix Service files are also supported provided file names are absolute and starts with character "/".

C calling syntax

void Output (char *filename)

Cobol calling syntax

CALL "Output" using by value filename.

C sample code

#include   "fpdf.h"

static char   f_ini ??(??) = ??< "ini??/??/demofpdf.ini" ??>;
static char   f_out ??(??) = ??< "pdf??/??/demo_a.pdf" ??>;

/* ----------------------------------------------------------------- */

int  main (int argc, char *argv [])

??<
NewPdfy (f_ini, 1);
AddPage ("P");
SetFont ("Times", "B", 24);
SetTextColor (0, 100, 200);
Text (20, 25, "What is written below is TRUE");
SetTextColor (0, 200, 100);
Text (20, 50, "What is written above is FALSE");
Output (f_out);
??>

Cobol sample code

       Procedure division.
           Set Pt0 to Address of T0.
           Set Pt1 to Address of T1.
      *
           String 'DD:FINI' Low-Value delimited by size into T0.
           Move 2 to NbPages.
           Call "NewPdfy" Using by value Pt0, NbPages returning PdfRC.

Description of sample code

This piece of code illustrates the most basic functions found in FPDF4ZOS interface.
- NewPdfy()       -->  Initialisation of a pdf context
- AddPage()       -->  As it says
- SetFont()       -->  Set current font
- SetTextColor()  -->  Set Text Color
- Text()          -->  Write a piece of Text at position [X,Y]
- Output()        -->  Output PDF file taking into account all the instructions invoked since context initialization

See sample source code in 'C' as well as PDF execution result - NB: For encrypted PDFs, user password is USER-PSWD
