Method Detail

setControlOpenClose

public void setControlOpenClose(boolean controlOpenClose)

Sets the parameter that allows you to enable/disable the control over the Document.open() and Document.close() method.

Parameters:

controlOpenClose - set this to false if you plan to open/close the Document yourself
