General Information

n2pdf is an extension of the LotusScript and Java programming language. The entire integration and control of n2pdf takes place over an extension of the LotusScript or Java language's command set. Its integration into existing and new applications is no problem thanks to this incorporation into the script language and the use of existing and familiar Lotus Notes concepts. The sample databases also provide you with a number of scripts that, with some minor modifications, can be quickly employed in other applications and which show you various ways and means of integrating n2pdf.

The following chapter first explains script integration and the technical principle of n2pdf with respect to LotusScript programming and Java Integration. The chapter then provides a description of the attachments, the webservices and the general elements of a PDF file, which you can control using n2pdf, and how you can assemble these elements.

This is followed by technical comments about such issues as installation, links, mail merge, and product registration.

The "Functions" chapter is where you can find all the commands that n2pdf provides for the script programming, and which acts as a kind of n2pdf command reference file.

The appendix provides you with additional information such as error codes and a list of all n2pdf files for use during a manual installation.
