The JPedal jar should show as PDFEncoder in the bean list.

Check out: http://forum.servoy.com/viewtopic.php?p=35905#35905

it describes how PDF’s can be printed directly, using the PDFEncoder.

Paul,

I have downloaded the jpedal.jar (though the latest version seems to be called jpedalSTD.jar) and dropped it in the beans folder, but I do not see the PDFEncoder bean listed to place on a form. The pdf support package was definitely installed. Have I missed something?

44

I have exactly the same problem.
When jpedalSTD.jar is installed (classpath extended with entries, like mentioned on the jpedal.org webpage), I see in the beans dropdown list AppletViewer.
This runs this jpedal-viewer, but not in the way the examples shown.

I need just the possibility to show a preview of the pdf-document like in the svyDoc example, but as like other persons already noticed here, for some reason it doesn’t work.

The jpedalSTD.jar seems to have only 2 methods, init() and destroy(), so not a method like openPdfArray()

I’m using Servoy 3.5 Final

It seems that the jpedalSTD.jar is not signed as a Java Bean anymore, therefor, the PDFDecoder does not show up in the Beans list..

I’ve send an email to the supplier with a request for change.

PS: drookwood: I seem to have missed your post earlier, sorry 'bout that

The people that supply the JPedal library have altered the manifest file of the library, so if you download the latest version of the jpedalSTD.jar file and place that into your bean folder, you should have access to the PDFEncoder bean again.

I don’t want to open a new topic for it and think it wil be fine in this one:

I can open PDF files hard coded or with an fileopendialog and show them with the jpedalSTD bean in a mediafield. I also got browsing through pages working.

Now I have the following problem (people who read my other posts already know some content): I get an XML form a webservice. THe XML containst lots of data and ends with an encoded PDF file bases on base64.
I decode the base 64 and can write it to a PDF file. No problem at all.

But what I want is decode the PDF, show it to the user and save it on buttonclick or something.

code:
writing to PDF

encodedByte = plugins.file.writeFile("c:/test.pdf", plugins.it2be_cryptor.Base64decode(vStruct[0].text));

And I want something like:

elements.bean_844.openPdfFile(plugins.it2be_cryptor.Base64decode(vStruct[0].text));

Dirc,

Please do not post the same question twice on the forum.

Is the link above for jpedal.jar the lgpl version. I am having issues downloading the jpeda-lgpl.jar from jpedal.org. The link above works fine, but I just want to make sure that it is lgpl or open source.
