$vl_area:=hmRep_New Offscreen Area(0; 0)
$vt_report:=hmRep_Create Report With PDF($vl_area; $vt_path)
hmRep_SET CURRENT REPORT($vl_area; $vt_report)

$vl_pages:=hmRep_Count Pages($vl_area)

For ($i; 1; $vl_pages)
	
	hmRep_SET CURRENT PAGE($vl_area; $i)
	$vl_id:=hmRep_Create Text($vl_area; 300; 300; 400; 400; "This is a test - Page "+String($i))
	$vl_id:=hmRep_Create Rectangle($vl_area; 0; 0; 100; 100)
