serious print to pdf problem in servoy 3.5.5 webclient

Harjo · March 10, 2008, 6:14pm

I’m facing some issues printing to pdf in the webclient.

this code works fine, in servy 3.1.6 webclient but the code just stops, when the first line of pdf printing is reached in 3.5.5:

var success = plugins.pdf_output.startMetaPrintJob()
//plugins.pdf_output.insertFontDirectory('c:/Windows/Fonts'); 

if (success)
{
	forms.pdflayout1.controller.print(true,false,plugins.pdf_output.getPDFPrinter());

	forms[orderform].controller.print(true,false,plugins.pdf_output.getPDFPrinter());

	if(ticketpdf == 1)
	{
		forms.tickets.controller.loadRecords(registrations_to_tickets)
		forms.tickets.controller.print(false,false,plugins.pdf_output.getPDFPrinter());
	}
}

var thepdfblob = plugins.pdf_output.endMetaPrintJob()
var installdir = java.lang.System.getProperty("user.dir")
var rnd =  Math.round(Math.random()*373840329493398)
var filepath = installdir + '/server/webapps/ROOT/pdf/pfc' + rnd + '.pdf'
//var filepath = 'c:/test.pdf'
plugins.file.writeFile(plugins.file.convertToJSFile(filepath), thepdfblob)
if (application.getApplicationType()==5)
{
   application.showURL('/pdf/pfc'+rnd+'.pdf','_self')
}
else
{
   application.showURL(filepath,'_self')
}

anyone else seeing this problem in webclient in 3.5.5?

btw: I’m seeing this in the servoy-admin page:

I came across this issue in my solution a while back, i think it was when we moved to 3.5.

I now use the print preview function in webclient that generates the pdf. The only problem i find is that in internet explorer it bring up a page and then hides it quickly - i assume it produces a pdf but i dont know where it goes!

It only really works well in Firefox where it works once you unblock pop-ups. Safari it doesnt really work.

So i use it and recommend firefox to my users.

I can’t use the printpreview function, because we print several forms to one pdf!

Andrei_Costescu · March 13, 2008, 2:54pm

I tried your code almost unaltered on a very simple solution and it works on 3.5.5. Anyway, it is clear that there is a problem somewhere - there is that exception in the log.
It seems to be a problem with the web client itself, not with the PDF printing. The PDF file on the server is getting created, right?

I think the best way to go is - add a case to the support system if you can supply a sample solution.

Harjo · March 13, 2008, 3:22pm

no, the PDF is not created on the server.
the code just stops, at the first line of pdf printing.
I think something is going wrong on the form itself!!

I will try to make a reproducable case, or upload my solution into the support system.
