Q. Does the IE Engine mean my users have to have Internet Explorer installed on their systems?
A. No. The Internet Explorer requirement is for the server, not the client. Any browser that supports the free Adobe Acrobat Reader can use our software.

Q. Why should I even use the default engine?
A. If you are generating straight HTML without any fancy CSS, the default engine will perform faster and is generally easier to implement.

Q. Does WebGrabber support dynamic page breaks?
A. Yes it does.

1) If you are using the default engine, merely enter the following code where you want the page to break :

<WxPrinter PageBreak>

If you are embedding a page break within a table, you will need to close off the table, issue the page break and then re-open the table.

2) If you are using the IE engine, you will need to use a CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) tag to force the page break :

<p STYLE="page-break-after: always">&nbsp;</p>

Q. Can I control the printed page size and orientation?
A. Yes you can by interfacing with the activePDF Server object. Below is a code snippet that illustrates this :

Set Server = Server.CreateObject("APServer.Object")
Set WebGrabber = Server.CreateObject("APWebGrabber.Object")
Server.Orientation = 2
WebGrabber.Prt2DiskSettings = Server.ToString()
WebGrabber.URL = "http://www.activepdf.com"
