PDFWidth/PDFHeight (function)

Returns the width or height, in inches, of a page of a Portable Document Format (PDF) image resource.

Syntax

pdfwidth( name, page ) measure value

pdfheight( name, page ) measure value

Argument

name

String value that specifies the name of the PDF image resource.

page

Integer value that specifies the page of the PDF

Code Sample Example

This example sets the variable maxwidth to the width of page 3, and the variable maxheight to the height of page 4, of the PDF

named parts_manual.

Example

&maxwidth := pdfwidth( ‘parts_manual’,3 )

&maxheight := pdfheight( ‘parts_manual’,4 )

Random (function)

Returns a measure value between 0 and 1, non-inclusive. Since this function uses the current system time when run inside the

printer, it returns a true random value. On the computer, however, the function uses the current data page as its seed to

ensure the returned value is constant when you navigate from page to page on your document.

Syntax

random() measure value

Argument

None

Code Sample Example

This example displays 10 random numbers between 1 and 20.
