This property determines whether a character outlining style is applied and the weight of the outline.

If the outline property is zero no outlining is done. If the outline property is greater than zero it indicates the width of lines used to outline the text. Widths are measured in points.

In this example we add some text to a document varying the outline style to show how different values affect the final result.

Set theDoc = Server.CreateObject("ABCpdf3.Doc")
theDoc.TextStyle.Size = 144
theDoc.AddText "Outline 0"
theDoc.Rect.Move 0, -300
theDoc.TextStyle.Outline = 4
theDoc.AddText "Outline 4"
theDoc.Rect.Move 0, -300
theDoc.TextStyle.Outline = 10
theDoc.AddText "Outline 10"
theDoc.Save "c:\mypdfs\styleoutline.pdf"
