Is there a way to embed a PDF file on a Servoy form and have the PDF print with the form?
I have a servoy form that I use for printing packing slips. I need to make it a 2-page form and show some canned text on the 2nd page. My client has all of their verbage already formatted for the back page in a single page PDF file.
I am looking at the jpedal bean, and I have it displaying the PDF on the form, but when I try to print the form, I get a blank area where the PDF container is.
Not sure of the best way to go about getting the PDF to print as the 2nd page of the form.
I am not clear on why you want to “embed a PDF file on a Servoy form”. It sounds like you could just put everything onto a two page Servoy form and then print that form to PDF? Alternatively, you could take the data entered onto the form and place it in an Adobe Acrobat FDF (form data format) file, which when executed opens the two page PDF file (which contains your form) and automatically populates it with the data.
My client had the back of their form professionally designed. Rather than go through the tedious process of recreating it with text fields, etc, I was hoping to just embed the PDF at the bottom of the servoy form so it prints as page two.
I am not a graphics expert, but I’ve been trying to convert the PDF to a tiff, gif, jpg, or png, but every time I try that, the text is fuzzy within the graphic.
I may end up just recreating it in text fields so I can move on. This is the last thing I thought I’d be fighting on my project. I’ve wasted a ton of hours on this so far.
Thanks for any advice. Even some ideas for different strategies would be helpful.
It will allow you to combine PDFs. You could create a PDF of your page, and tack the other one on in the same file. In the end you still have a PDF, but that could be sent to the printer.
