DynamicPDF Designer is a powerful graphical editing tool for creating a DLEX XML specification that, when processed, creates a PDF document. You can also programmatically create a DLEX specification to format a report dynamically. Here, we show how to dynamically create a columnar report.

This post is part two of a two-part blog post. In this post, we programmatically add columns to a DLEX from (almost) scratch.

In the last post (Dynamic Columns and Designer Reports - Part One), we modified an existing DLEX file to remove and move columns in an existing DLEX document. But many times, you might wish to create a DLEX programmatically from scratch. Here, we illustrate making a DLEX file dynamically from a bare-bones DLEX document.

We start with a bare-bones DLEX file, report-with-cover-page.json, and use the DynamicPDF API C# Client library, available on GitHub or as a NuGet package.

• dotnet-client on GitHub
• DynamicPDF.API on NuGet
• client libraries documentation

We use the client library to create a PDF using the pdf endpoint. We also use Microsoft's System.XML namespace.

DynamicPDF Designer is a powerful graphical editing tool for creating a DLEX XML specification that, when processed, creates a PDF document. You can also programmatically modify a DLEX specification to format a report dynamically. Here, we show how to dynamically change a report to remove columns when creating a columnar report.

This is part one of a two-part blog post. In this post we programmatically modify an existing DLEX. In the next post we create that DLEX from scratch.

We at DynamicPDF are happy to announce the following tutorials, now available online. These tutorials illustrate how to use DynamicPDF Designer to create rich, dynamic PDF reports.

We at DynamicPDF are happy to announce the following tutorials, now available online. Available now are written and video tutorials covering all DynamicPDF API's REST endpoints.

Recently we started creating numerous written tutorials and video tutorials to help you get started using the DynamicPDF API. We are happy to announce our first tutorial: Getting Started - DLEX and Designer.

One of the critical features of the DynamicPDF API is its ability to scale based on demand automatically. Our team has been working hard to test out this feature over the past few weeks. We've been testing like crazy and have created over 1.2 billion test pages in the process. We're happy to report that auto-scaling is now up and running in all 10 of our geographic zones and performing quite nicely. We'll keep testing and tweaking things as usage increases to ensure things continue to run optimally.
