First Page HTML Headers without MaxiPT

This discussion assumes that you are familiar with the basic principles of controlling printing with ScriptX.

One of the features of the MaxiPT feature set #1 is the ability to define page headers and footers that include HTML hence providing for the control of font usage, use of images etc.

A little known feature of advanced (licensed) ScriptX is the ability to provide a first page html header; without MaxiPT.

Please note that this feature is very limited in comparison to the the abilities of MaxiPT. With MaxiPT, the true page headers and footers, including formatting control such as includsion of page numbers and document title can be specified. With "plain" ScriptX HTML Header, the html header is in addition to the normal page headers and footers and is printed within the page area, not within the margin.

Also, this html header appears on the first page only.

The htmlHeader property takes a string which must be a complete and valid HTML document, i.e. including <html> and </html> tags, not a html fragment. The document can include inline styles that will be honoured, however background colours will be ignored. References to image files (or other external files such as css) must be full absolute references, they will not be taken as relative to the document being printed.
