Document
The Document is the top-level section of DLEX documents. Use the Document to assign fonts and add metadata to a PDF. The designer-usersguide-examples GitHub project contains numerous examples illustrating the many different components of a DLEX document. The Samples folder in your DynamicPDF cloud storage also contains numerous example projects. Refer to the Designer Examples documentation for more information.
You also add reports and pages to a document.
Upon creating a new DLEX, the Document is automatically added to the DLEX file.
Figure 1. The Document is the the top-level layout element for all DLEX documents.
Fonts and Metadata
Add fonts through the Fonts properties. Refer to Fonts topic in the Users Guide (Fonts) for more information.
