ZPL printer table for QR codes

[Jose Lerebours]

Ah, good old tcpdf  - fpdf is what I use, kind of got stuck with it 
since I always find means to do what I need.

I like tcpdf ability to handle HTML tags and properties ...

Yeah, sounds like you went with same approach as I did - except that I 
do not use filePro, my ERP is PHP/MySQL based.

I can whip up an API if you are interested - I am swamped writing an API 
to integrate with MS Business Central but if you
can wait a few days, I will gladly put something together and you can 
use it calling a cURL command from your filePro
application.
