Note (1): Because PSL produces PDF as its native output format, issues such as transparency and other matters associated with rendering color graphics and images are handled well, as opposed to the way they are (not) handled in Postscript.
Note (2): PageBuilder and PageBuilder Pro are the only Drag & Drop products that produce code that a programmer can use. One may set up the basis for a job, such as the Visa Statement depicted elsewhere, in the Drag & Drop Page Builder environment, then "finish” the job by programming. Conversely, a programmer can insert as much PSL code into PageBuilder as he or she chooses.
