Overview
ComPDF Generation SDK provides a powerful Layout API that allows you to directly create and control every element of a PDF document through code. Unlike the HTML to PDF approach, the Layout API provides more fine-grained control, enabling you to build PDF documents entirely from scratch programmatically.
Main Advantages:
- Complete Programmatic Control: Precisely control the position, size, and style of each element in the document through code.
- Flexible Layout System: Supports block-level elements, inline elements, and absolute positioning.
- Rich Element Types: Text, paragraphs, tables, lists, images, separators, etc.
- Style Management: Supports reusable styles to achieve consistent document appearance.
- Box Model Support: Full support for margin, padding, border, etc.
- Flowing Layout: Automatically handles pagination and content reflow.
Applicable Scenarios:
- Scenarios requiring precise control of document layout
- Dynamic generation of structurally complex documents
- Complex conditional logic needed to determine document content
- Deep integration with existing code logic
