Enhanced formatting

The enhanced formatting options are set using the printing.enhancedFormatting object. For example, this sample is formatted like this:

    // save some typing ...
    var ef = MeadCo.ScriptX.Printing.enhancedFormatting; 
 

    ef.allPagesHeader = "<div style='font: 10pt Arial;'><div>
    <center> --- Enhanced header for page <b> &p </b>---
    </center></div><div><center><h4>Enhanced 
    multi-line headers & footers with ScriptX</h4></center></div><div>";

    ef.allPagesFooter = "<div style='font: 10pt Arial;'>
    <img src='https://support.meadroid.com/images/log_bg01.jpg'
    width='64px' height='64px' /><center> --- Footer for page
    <b> &p </b> --->/center></div>";

    ef.firstPageHeader = "<div style='border-top: 1px solid black;
    border-right: 1px solid black; font: bold 14pt Arial; padding-Top: 5px;
    padding-Bottom: 12px;'><center>Header for page <b> &p (first)
    </b> only</center></div>";

    ef.firstPageFooter = "<div style='border-top: 1px solid black;
    font: bold 12pt Arial; padding-Top: 5px; padding-Bottom: 6px;'>
    <center> - Footer for page <b>&p (first) </b>
    only - </center></div>";

    ef.extraFirstPageFooter = "<div style='color:gray; font:bold 6pt Arial'><
    <img src='https://support.meadroid.com/quicksamples/sx_stat.gif'>
      EXTRA FIRST PAGE FOOTER AS IMAGE<br> </div>";

Multiline HTML header and footer

HTML headers and footers are described by setting printing.enhancedFormatting properties in script. The following properties are supported:

Property	Description
allPagesHeader	A string value of the (html) header to apply to all pages.
allPagesFooter	A string value of the (html) footer to apply to all pages.
irstPageHeader	A string value of the (html) header to apply to the first page only, this value will override any allPagesHeader value on the first page (only).
firstPageFooter	A string value of the (html) footer to apply to the first page only, this value will override any allPagesFooter value on the first page (only).
extraFirstPageFooter	A string value of an additional (html) footer to apply to the first page only, this footer will be in addition to any footer already specified and positioned above the footer.
allHeaderHeight	The height, in points, of the all pages header.
allFooterHeight	The height, in points, of the all pages footer.
firstHeaderHeight	The height, in points, of the header for the first page only.
firstFooterHeight	The height, in points, of the footer for the first page only.
extraFirstFooterHeight	The height, in points, of any extra footer that is applied to the first page only.

A header such as this:

--- Enhanced header for page 4 ---

Enhanced multi-line headers & footers with ScriptX

is scripted by setting either the firstPageHeader or allPagesHeader property, for example:

MeadCo.ScriptX.Printing.enhancedFormatting.allPagesHeader = 
    "<div style='font: 10pt Arial;'><div>
    <center> --- Enhanced header for page <b> &p </b>---
    </center></div><div><center><h4>Enhanced multi-line 
    headers & footers with ScriptX</h4></center></div><div>";

applies the given header to all pages. See the following section for discussion of firstPageHeader.

To print specific information as part of the header or footer, include the following meta-characters as part of the text:

Use this	To print this
&w	Window title
&u	Page address (URL)
&d	Date in short format (as specified by Regional Settings in Control Panel)
&D	Date in long format (as specified by Regional Settings in Control Panel)
&t	Time in the format specified by Regional Settings in Control Panel
&T	Time in 24-hour format
&p	Current page number
&P	Total number of pages
&&	A single ampersand (&)

Different header and footer for the first page

Enable different headers and footers for the first page by providing values for the header and/or footer to be used on the first page; firstPageHeader and/or firstPageFooter

Additional footer for the first page

An additional footer for the first page only can also be provided. This is how the footer image on the first previewed/printed page of this example is defined:

MeadCo.ScriptX.Printing.enhancedFormatting.extraFirstPageFooter =
    "<div><img 
    src='http://support.meadroid.com/quicksamples/sx_stat.gif'></div>"

The height of headers and footers

Required heights can be set by defining various properties

var ef = MeadCo.ScriptX.Printing.enhancedFormatting;
ef.firstHeaderHeight = 180;
ef.firstFooterHeight = 180;
ef.extraFirstFooterHeight = 60;
ef.allHeaderHeight = 120;
ef.allFooterHeight = 120;

All of these values will be calculated automatically if you don't set their properties.
