Hi Gabriele and everyone else that has helped me learn how to print to papers,
It is early morning here and I haven't gone to bed yet (this is my last day
to try to meet a deadline), so please forgive me for not naming all of you
that have so graciously helped me, but please accept my sincere
thanks. Gabriele, I especially owe you for the excellent job you did with
pdf-maker.r and for explaining to me how to use it. You are one of my
heros for sure now!
Here is how I am using pdf-maker.r to print out my reports (I would
appreciate any advice on how this can be improved):
REBOL []
do %pdf-maker.r
if exists? %pig.pdf [delete %pig.pdf]
count: 0
lets: copy [{AAAAAAAAA} {BBBBBBB} {CCCCCC}] ; short informative sample
reports :>)
pdf: copy {}
pdf: {write/binary %pig.pdf layout-pdf [}
foreach let lets [
pdf: join pdf compose/deep [{[textbox [} [font Courier 4.4 as-is
{^{}(let){^}]]}]]
count: count + 1
]
pdf: join pdf {]}
pdf: replace/all pdf {^{ } {^{} ;removes leading white space---trim didn't
work.
pdf: replace/all pdf { ^}} {^}} ;why are these two lines needed?
print pdf
do pdf
browse %pig.pdf
ask "Continue? "
delete %pig.pdf
Thanks again everybody!
Louis
