Hi all,

I have a question about the PDFpageformatter.

I generated a point using a creator (with coordinates 0 0) and used a textadder to add text to this point. The text is automatically put top right of the point. Then I use a PDFstyler to give color to the text and put this into an PDFpageformatter. In the PDFpageformatter I created a box where I want to put this text. When writing it to a PDF it seems that the text is written in the bottom on the left side. But it would be more beneficial for writing a letter if the text would start in top left. Is there a way to make sure that the PDFpageformatter will start writing text in the top left corner?

For creating great PDFs I would recommend to have a look at jsreports (https://jsreport.net/ )

How to connect to a REST API and send data to jsreports can be seen here on thie presentation from FMEUC2017:
