Re: Creating PDF from template.

Hi Vicente,

Yes, this is normal right now given how the PDF generation works (for more on this, see the RFE linked below). What you could do is to have the field be "shown" when you're in PDF mode. You can do this by setting it Visibility to `fr:mode() = 'pdf'` in Form Builder. You'll let me know if this works for you.

Hi everyone. I have an orbeon form with 3 fields for the full name (name,
surname1 and surname2) and a PDF template with only one field for the full
name (It is an official form that I can not change). My goal is concatenate
the name + surname1 + surname2 from the form and insert the result in the
full name PDF field. The only way I have found is create a hide field on the
form and using xPath fill it automatically with that users insert in the
mentioned 3 fields, then I found that hide fields don´t get printed in the
generated PDF (If I set the field as visible I can print it on the PDF). It
is a normal behavior?

If it is not possible to print hide fields there is some other way to get my
goal?

Hi Vicente,

Did you get a chance to try using `fr:mode() = 'pdf'`? If you did, does it
work for you?
