Configuration interface of the PDF Code.
The application “Report PDF” was developed based on a library called TCPDF, so that you can use the available library methods or a corresponding macro from the table below. In order to use some method you must use the $pdf object, for example: $pdf->AcceptPageBreak(parameters).
