NOTES:<br>

• csv2pdf 2.0.0 and above uses freemarker's square bracket tag syntax and square bracket interpolation syntax.
• Iterate "rows" collection inside your template if you are not using the -for_each option
• You can use a templated output file name if using the -for_each option
• See the examples folder!

Example 1:<br>

  java -jar csv2pdf.jar -csv_file data.csv -ftl_file template.ftl -pdf output.pdf <br>

Example 2:<br>

  java -jar csv2pdf.jar -csv_file data.csv -ftl_file template2.ftl -for_each -pdf 'output_${id}.pdf' <br>

Any idea, suggestion or comment is always appreciated
