<h2>1. Defining possible PDF values<br>
 | 
						|
</h2>
 | 
						|
The first step to PDF output is defining what values your module
 | 
						|
provides. This is needed for the PDF editor, otherwise the user will
 | 
						|
not be able to select values from your module.<br>
 | 
						|
<br>
 | 
						|
The PDF values are specified with <span style="font-weight: bold;">get_pdfFields()</span>
 | 
						|
or <span style="font-weight: bold;">meta['PDF_fields']</span>.<br>
 | 
						|
<br>
 | 
						|
<span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Example:</span><br
 | 
						|
 style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">
 | 
						|
<br>
 | 
						|
The <span style="font-style: italic;">ieee802Device</span>
 | 
						|
module has only one attribute and therefore one PDF value: the MAC
 | 
						|
address.<br>
 | 
						|
<br>
 | 
						|
<table style="width: 100%; text-align: left;" class="mod-code"

<h2>2. Providing data to put into the PDF file<br>
 | 
						|
</h2>
 | 
						|
When the user wants to create a PDF file the LDAP account is loaded and
 | 
						|
you module is asked for data to put into the PDF file.<br>
 | 
						|
<br>
 | 
						|
This is done with <span style="font-weight: bold;">get_pdfEntries()</span>.<br>
 | 
						|
<br>
 | 
						|
<span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Example:</span><br
 | 
						|
 style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">
 | 
						|
<br>
 | 
						|
The <span style="font-style: italic;">ieee802Device</span>
 | 
						|
module will return the MAC address list of the account.<br>
 | 
						|
<br>
 | 
						|
<table style="width: 100%; text-align: left;" class="mod-code"
 |
