Flash and PDF for printing Why client side ? You can generate PDF’s 100% client side since ActionScript 2 ActionScript 3 (ByteArray) allows us to generate richer PDF’s (images, sounds, SWF, etc.) AlivePDF (alivepdf.bytearray.org) is an open-source (MIT licence) library which allows you to do that. ® Copyright 2009 Adobe Systems Incorporated. All rights reserved. Adobe con dential. 20

Generate a PDF in 3 lines of code import org.alivepdf.pdf.PDF; //create a PDF object var myPDF:PDF = new PDF(); // add a blank page myPDF.addPage(); // save the PDF on user’s disk through a save-as dialog window myFileReference.save ( myPDF.save ( Method.LOCAL ), “generated.pdf” ); ® Copyright 2009 Adobe Systems Incorporated.

Flash and PDF for printing var myPDF:PDF = new PDF(); myPDF.addPage(); myPDF.textStyle( new RGBColor(0x990000), 1 ); var uf:IFont = new CoreFont ( FontFamily.HELVETICA ); myPDF.setFont(uf, 9); myPDF.writeFlashHtmlText(8, 'A long standard format that should wrap by the time I finish this. Here is some text that I write very eeasily and lengthy And now for some text again just to check it's not buggy. And back to normal. Then a line break That's All.'); myPDF.addPage(); var r:Resize = new Resize ( Mode.NONE, Position.LEFT ); myPDF.addImage( this, r ); myPDF.addPage() myPDF.addImage( myDisplayObject, null, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, false, ImageFormat.JPG, 80 ); ® Copyright 2009 Adobe Systems Incorporated.
