PDF export

Hi,

With the form builder, we can add an "export pdf" button, with this line in properties-local.xml :

<property as="xs:string"  name="oxf.fr.detail.buttons.*.*" value="pdf"/>

But it doesn't work when you try to modify the structure of the xhtml (by adding a column on the left of the "builder zone" for example). Is there a trick to manage this case, or (more interesting for me) another way to call the same service with a custom button of my own ?

Thanks.

Hi Lomobob,

What do you mean by "adding a column to the left of the builder zone"? And in case you want to call them directly, the services to generate the PDF are declared in the Form Runner page flow:

Hi,

I mean that I edited the source in form builder, and instead of

<xh:body>
        <fr:view>
            <fr:body>
                  <[ORBEON CODE]>
            </fr:body>
        </fr:view>
</xh:body>

I modify the structure:

<xh:body>
        <xh:table>
            <xh:tr>
                <xh:td id="left">
                     <[XHTML CODE]>  
                </xh:td>
                <xh:td id="right">
                    <fr:view>
                        <fr:body>
                            <[ORBEON CODE]>
                        </fr:body>
                    </fr:view>
                </xh:td id="right">
            </xh:tr>
        </xh:table>
</xh:body>

So I can display something else on the left that is unrelated and can be fixed (like a menu in my case).

I hadn't enough time to look at your link yet, but thanks again !

Hi Lomobob,

Don't ;). If you expect to still be able to edit your form in Form Builder, and expect it to still be runnable by Form Runner, avoid that type of structural changes.
