DynaPDF 3.5 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
MBS( "DynaPDF.New" { ; SerialNumber } )   More

Parameters

Parameter Description Example Flags
SerialNumber The DynaPDF serial number. If you don't provide a serial number, you run DynaPDF in demo mode. If you passed license key to DynaPDF.Initialize function already, you don't need to pass it here a second time. $serial Optional

Result

Returns reference number or error.

Description

Creates a new DynaPDF instance.
This instance can only be used on one thread, so please don't use it in two scripts at the same time on a server.
Must be paired with call to DynaPDF.Release to avoid running out of memory.

If this function returns "OK", you have an older plugin version (before 3.5).
For DynaPDF, you need an extra license as this is not included in the MBS FileMaker Plugin license. You can order DynaPDF add-on for our plugin from Monkeybread Software.

Before you can create DynaPDF instances to work with the DynaPDF commands, you need to use DynaPDF.Initialize function to initialize the library.
DynaPDF context reference numbers are starting at 20000 and counting up for each new context.

Please use DynaPDF.AppendPage to create a new page.

Examples

Work with PDF:

$pdf = MBS("DynaPDF.New")
# do your work
$r = MBS( "DynaPDF.Release"; $pdf )
