DynamicPDF Generator for Java (v4) Forum

please forgive the newbie question. 

We need to generate a 4x6 label (with potentially many pages) that we need to format in a PDF and send to our customers to print on their label or laser printers. 

The tools we have been using to date will take the formatted output and center it in the center of the page, we need this to be printed in the upper left of the pdf with the appropriate page size so it prints properly on the label printer. 

need to know if any of your tools will support this requirement.

Hello,

Yes, you can add labels to the PDF document and set the required dimensions to it without  any problem using our DynamicPDF product.  You can use the Label page element of our API to do this. You will have to use the setWidth and setHeight methods of the Label page element to set the dimensions. You can also place the Label page element at desired locations using the X and Y position coordinates. Please refer the documentation on Label page element and its members at: http://www.DynamicPDF.com/Support/Java_Help_Documentation_09_01/api-ref/com/cete/dynamicpdf/pageelements/Label.html

You can add the required page elements like (Label, TextArea) to a template and apply thet to the whole document. Please refer the documentation on Template page element at: http://www.DynamicPDF.com/Support/Java_Help_Documentation_09_01/user-manual/Templates.html


You can set the required size for the page using our DynamicPDF product. You will have to use the PageSize at the time of creating the Page object. Also you can set the page dimensions using the set Dimensions method. Please refer the documentation on Page class and its members at:
http://www.DynamicPDF.com/Support/Java_Help_Documentation_09_01/api-ref/com/cete/dynamicpdf/Page.html


If the above suggestions do not meet your requirements then kindly send over more details to our Support Team so that they can look into it further.

Thanks,
