Here's an example of dynamically composing a PDF document
using records:
;; ======================================================
do %pdf-maker.r
records: [
[first_name "Tim" last_name "Johnson"]
[first_name "Gabriele" last_name "Santilli"]
]
build-page: func[record[block!]][
blue-font: [FONT Courier 4.23 0.0.200]
black-font: [FONT Helvetica 4.23 0.0.0]
;; Place any code that you want evaluated inside of parenthesis
[ ;; Each page must be a block
textbox[
LEFT ALIGN
(blue-font) "First Name: "
(black-font) (record/first_name) newline
(blue-font) "Last Name: "
(black-font) (record/last_name) newline
]
]
]
;; make block for the document
document: make block! length? records
;; Process records
foreach record records[
;; Use 'compose to evaluate the code and data
;; inside of the parens in the 'page block
page: compose/deep build-page record
;; append as a block
append/only document page
]
write/binary %pdf-test.pdf layout-pdf document
;; ======================================================
It's my hope that someone else may find this as helpful
as it was for me in doing it.
And as always - thanks to Gabrielle for his good work.
cheers
Tim
