ScriptDirector

The ScriptDirector (PL/SQL) module creates PDF output which can be saved to the file system or stored in a database. It can also run PL/SQL scripts. The ScriptDirector was originally developed for use with Banner e-Bills, which uses a PL/SQL script to make individual PDFs of students’ bills available online.

ImagingDirector or ScriptDirector?

Both Directors allow you to use a script to direct the output. The ScriptDirector allows only PL/SQL scripts to be used, whereas any type of script that can be run on your server can be used with the ImagingDirector.
