Detailed Description

Adjust output options, print (or generate PDF, PostScript, HTML and ASCII) a Repository-based or stand-alone FormLayout.

This is the main class of TFORMer Runtime for generating output. The basic steps to generate output are as follows:

General Procedure

Task	See Also	Note
Create a DataSource	DataSource	A DataSource is used to pass data to a Job.
Provide data for the DataSource	DataSourceRecordSet, DataSourceCsv, DataSourceOdbc, DataSourceXml	Provide data programmatically or connect the DataSource with a file or a database. The DataSource is responsible to provide values for the DataFields required for the FormLayout to be printed.
Create a Job	Job	The Job class is the main class for printing a FormLayout.
Connect the Job with the DataSource	DataSource	If no DataSource is connected with the Job the default data for the FormLayout is used. This default data is identical to the data-set which was used for printing or previewing the FormLayout in the last TFORMer Designer session.
Adjust the properties of the Job	The most important properties are the output-type and the name of the target device (OutputName, PrinterType or PrinterName).	The order in which the properties are set is irrelevant. The method Print() takes care to apply the settings correctly.
Print() the Job	Print()	Generates the Job based on the FormLayout and DataSource in the required output format.
