<div style="text-align: center;"><br>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: left;">The <span style="font-style: italic;">PDF
editor</span> allows the user to create templates for the PDF output.<br>
These templates are saved as files in <span style="font-weight: bold;">config/pdf</span>.<br>
<br>
<h2>Pdfmain.php<br>
</h2>
This is the start page of the <span style="font-style: italic;">PDF
editor</span>. The user can select to add/modify/remove selected PDF
profiles.<br>
<br>
The list of existing PDF profiles is returned by <span
style="font-weight: bold;">getPDFStructureDefinitions()</span> in <span
style="font-style: italic;">pdfstruct.inc</span>. It includes all
structure names without file extensions for a given account type.<br>
<br>
Depending on the selection of the user he is forwarded to pdfpage.php
or pdfdelete.php.<br>
<br>
<h2>Pdfpage.php<br>
</h2>
The user can edit the PDF structures on this page.<br>
<br>
The structure is loaded with <span style="font-weight: bold;">loadPDFStructureDefinitions()</span>
from <span style="font-style: italic;">pdfstruct.inc</span>. If it
does not yet exist then the default structure is loaded.<br>
It is stored in <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">$_SESSION['currentPDFStructure']</span>
(sections) and <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">$_SESSION['currentPageDefinitions']</span>
(head line and logo).<br>
<br>
At the top of the page the head line and logo can be edited. The list
of available logos is retrieved with <span style="font-weight: bold;">getAvailableLogos()</span>
from <span style="font-style: italic;">pdfstruct.inc</span>.<br>
<br>
The sections on the left side are displayed like they are defined in <span
style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">$_SESSION['currentPDFStructure']</span>.
Each item has links to move or delete it. Section titles may be changed.<br>
<br>
The list of available PDF entries on the right side is retrieved from <span
style="font-weight: bold;">getAvailablePDFFields()</span> in <span
style="font-style: italic;">modules.inc</span>.<br>
<br>
Near the bottom there the user can add a new section. The list of
available PDF entries is retrieved as above.<br>
<br>
When the user pushes one of the buttons or clicks on a link then there
are several actions:<br>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Abort button:</span> The user is
redirected back to <span style="font-style: italic;">pdfmain.php</span>.<br>
</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Save button:</span> The
structure name is checked for correctness and the file is saved with <span
style="font-weight: bold;">savePDFStructureDefinitions()</span>
from <span style="font-style: italic;">pdfstruct.inc</span><span
style="font-weight: bold;">.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Add section button:</span> LAM
adds a static text or section to the structure.</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Add entry button:</span> Adds a
new entry to the selected section.</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Change name button:</span>
Changes the name of the section title or the section attribute.</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Remove entry link:</span> If the
entry is a section then all parts of this section are removed.
Otherwise a single entry is removed.</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Move up/down links:</span> The
entry or section is moved up or down.</li>
</ul>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">$_SESSION['currentPDFStructure']</span>
is an array that contains all XML tags of the PDF structure. If you
want to modify the structure always remember to put the opening and
closing tags at the right place.<br>
<br>
<h2>Pdfdelete.php</h2>
When the user selected to delete a structure in <span
style="font-style: italic;">pdfmain.php</span> he is redirected to
this page.<br>
<br>
LAM will ask once again if the user is sure to delete the structure. If
this is the case the structure will be deleted with <span
style="font-weight: bold;">deletePDFStructureDefinition()</span> from <span
style="font-style: italic;">pdfstruct.inc</span>.<br>
