With 4D v15 R5, 4D Write Pro is moving forward!
A new page view mode is available and two new commands are available in order to print a document.
New page view mode
A new page view mode is available: Page mode. The document is now rendered as it will be printed with multiple pages if needed. New attributes are available for the page setup: page size, page orientation and page margin.
Another feature is related to the paragraph layout management: “widows and orphans” and “avoid page break”. The user can now define how its paragraphs will be split between two pages allowing or not page break inside a paragraph.
New commands
Two new commands are available in order to print a document : WP PRINT and WP PAGE SETUP.
WP PRINT command launches a print job for the document passed as parameter. WP PAGE SETUP allows you to set the document size and document orientation stored in the document as current print settings for the next print jobs.
Moreover a new selector has been created for SET PRINT OPTION: Page range option. You are now able to define which pages or page range you want to print.
