[dev] PDF-creation

[Marko Djukic]

try with these changes:

$x = &wpPDF :: factory ('P', 'mm', 'A4');

$x->setinfo ('title', 'FOOOODOOOO');
$x->setinfo ('subject', 'The Subject field :-)');
$x->setinfo ('creator', 'Not mine');

$x->open ();
$x->setMargins (50, 50);
$x->addPage ('P');
$x->setFont('arial', '', 15);
$x->write (10, "This is some text\n");
$x->write (10, "And this is some more text\n***\n");

$x->text (10,20,'Hello');
$x->close ();
$x->save ('foo.pdf');
$x->output ('xxx.pdf', 'true');

some notes:
- your margins 150,150 were huge - 15+15cm? that's more than the width of an
a4...
- if you want \n to go through correctly enclose them in ""
- setFont at the moment seems to have an effect only after addPage() and
setFont() is required for a pdf to render properly
