Hello Dirk
Your response sounds promising. Can you send me an example if you have
something. The code what you have written below is little confusing for me, as
we cannot instantiate PdfTemplate(constructor is private) and also it doesn't
take 3 parameters. Please respond back as soon as possible.
Thanks
Venkat
