DynamicPDF Generator for COM/ActiveX (v2 and older) Forum

 Apr 23 2010 4:58 AM
Hi,

Trying to write the X, Y Coords. for the textareaobject always results in the following

Code:
set objTextArea=objPage.AddTextArea("Some Text",340,200,250,12)
response.write "x:" &objTextArea.X &"<br>"
response.write "y:"&objTextArea.Y &"<br>"
response.end

When executing this on a ASP page i get the following result:
x:200
y:200

Could someone give me an explanation on this?
Wouldn't the correct values be
x:340
y:200
????

Please help, cause this really messes up my layout..

Ok, strange.
I'm using DynamicPDF™ Generator v2.6.0c for COM/ActiveX.
I' am debugging a large codebase so I'm not sure of alla code in the codebase, but is there a way to set this behaviour on your component?
I can't find anything about it in your documentation which I installed with the software.

Thanks in advance..

Just to clarify, this is in a doscument called testing.asp

<%
set objDoc = server.createobject("DPDF_Gen.Document")
objDoc.Creator = "Semcon Competence Manager PDF-Generator"
Set objPage = objDoc.AddPage()
set objTextArea=objPage.AddTextArea("Some Text",34,200,250,12)
response.write "x:" &objTextArea.X &"<br>"
response.write "y:" &objTextArea.Y &"<br>"
response.end
objDoc.DrawToASP
%>

This code renders:
x:200
y:200

Removing response.end places the "Some Text" according to the x-y coords. So theres no problem, the problem arises when I want to use the coords to place the following object, I'm sure you understand why..

Thanks for the quick response!
