Layout and Styling

By implementing the CSS3 module “Paged Media”, PDFreactor provides you with full control over the pagination, including:

• page format (size and orientation)
• page breaks (automatically and manually, e.g. widows and orphans)
• dynamic headers and footers (including automatic page numbers and chapter titles)

Utilizing CSS3 functionalities PDFreactor empowers you to easily create impressive documents using advanced layout techniques such as:

• multi-column, including automatic balancing and column break control
• automatic hyphenation
• footnotes
• border radius (“rounded corners”)
• complex CSS layouts (floats, positioning, margin, padding)

PDFreactor is able to perfectly layout complex tables with automatic running headers and footers. Utilizing advanced CSS3 selectors, you can easily alternate colors and other styles between even and odd rows.

PDFreactor can generate tables of contents, including automatic page numbers and leaders. Further generated content, like cross references (dynamically displaying the page number and title of the target chapter) and numbered headings, is also supported.

In order to avoid elements (e.g. text boxes or images) with fixed pixel widths (common on legacy web pages) exceeding the page size PDFreactor can automatically adjust the DPI value for pixels. Thus, everything will properly fit on the pages. It is also possible to manually specify the DPI value.
