Description

Starts a new PDF in memory or at the given path.
Writing PDF to file to disk while creating it allows PDF files to be bigger than available memory. In order to have that working well, you need to call DynaPDF.FlushPages regularly to free memory.
Use Path.FileMakerPathToNativePath to convert a FileMaker path to a native path if required.

Examples

Starts with a new blank PDF:

$r = MBS( "DynaPDF.clear"; $PDF )
