The following options only take effect if N2PDFOPTION_ATTACHMENT_MODE has been set to N2PDFVALUE_ATTACHMENT_CONVERT_MODE. For conversion of file attachments, you need to install webPDF. Please note the text in the course of the same section. |
If the option N2PDFVALUE_ATTACHMENT_CONVERT_MODE is set with command N2PDFSetOption, the Notes attachment is converted into a standalone PDF file and this is then attached to the new PDF file created by the N2PDFProcess. In this case, no n2pdf operations can be carried out on the content of the Notes attachment. If a Notes attachment is attached to the "new" PDF by this means, this occurs in the sequence of the function calls of N2PDFAddAttachment or N2PDFAddFile.
Example: Convert the attachment and amend as additional page(s) at the end of the PDF
Call N2PDFSetOption ( JobID,_
N2PDFOPTION_ATTACHMENT_MODE,_
N2PDFVALUE_ATTACHMENT_CONVERT_MODE,_
"" )
Call N2PDFAddAttachment ( JobID,_
0,_
N2PDFVALUE_CRLF_BEFORE,_
