checkdatauri.js

      	// checks if we have datauri support in current browser
        // if we have support for datauri support then we can stream generated PDF right into the browser
        // otherwise we should use Downloadify script to allow user to save PDF file
	function CheckDataURISupport(){

	var result = true;
	var checkDataURISupportImage = new Image();

	checkDataURISupportImage.onload = checkDataURISupportImage.onerror = function(){

createpdf.js

      // function that creates BytescoutPDF instance (defined in BytescoutPDF.js script which have to be included into the same page)
// then calls API methods and properties to create PDF document
// and returns created BytescoutPDF object instance
// this CreatePDF() function is called from Sample.html
// IsInternetExplorer8OrLower parameter indicates if we use IE8 or lower so we CAN'T use images (as it requires HTML5 Canvas available in IE9 or higher). Other browsers should be working fine

// IMPORTANT ABOUT IMAGES: 
// When using Firefox or IE, pdf generation may fail because images are not accessible when pdf generation works
// the solution for this issue is to preload images in main HTML document before running PDF generation
// to preload images, put them into hidden div block "pdfreportimages" - you can see it in the sample.html right after <body> opening tag


function CreatePDF(IsInternetExplorer8OrLower) {

    // create BytescoutPDF object instance
    var pdf = new BytescoutPDF();
