Description

Writes styled text on current page.
Converts for you the styled text to the formatted text commands from DynaPDF.
Use DynaPDF.GetFTextHeightEx or DynaPDF.GetFTextHeight to calculate the space needed for the text if you want to create a matching text rectangle for vertical alignment.

See DynaPDF.AllowPageBreak for whether to do page breaks or not.

Please set a font first with DynaPDF.SetFont function before you write on the page. As this function uses font settings from FileMaker field, it may ignore whatever font or style you loaded before.
