pdfAddContinueText
Write one more line of text at the "continue text" cursor
int32_t __stdcall pdfAddContinueTextA(PPDF IPDF, const char* AText);
int32_t __stdcall pdfAddContinueTextW(PPDF IPDF, const wchar_t* AText);
function pdfAddContinueTextA(const IPDF: PPDF; const AText: PAnsiChar): Integer; stdcall;
function pdfAddContinueTextW(const IPDF: PPDF; const AText: PWideChar): Integer; stdcall;
Purpose. Write one more line of text at the "continue text" cursor established by pdfBeginContinueText (Core Text Output) — a simple manual text-flow helper: each call writes AText at the current cursor position, then advances the cursor down by one line (1.2 × the current font size, a standard single-line-spacing leading multiple).
Description. Requires an active continue-text session (FContActive, set by pdfBeginContinueText) — a no-op returning 0 otherwise. The line-advance happens even if AText is empty — calling this with an empty string is therefore a valid way to insert a blank line.
Parameters.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
IPDF | Document handle. |
AText | The line of text to write (may be empty, to skip a blank line). |
Return value. 1 if a continue-text session is active (regardless of whether AText was empty); 0 if no session is active.
