Hello,

i’ve a question about startMetaPrintJob() & endMetaPrintJob() in the webclient.
How can i save the pdf in the browser?

plugins.file.showFileSaveDialog() doesn’t work in the web.

My method looks like this:

var success = plugins.pdf_output.startMetaPrintJob();
if(success)
{
....
var vMedia = plugins.pdf_output.endMetaPrintJob();
}

vMedia is a byte-array, but what can i do with this in the web?

Thanks,
Alex

Let user view and then save the PDF by clicking the disk icon in the upper left corner of the Acrobat Reader window.

Create a “pdf” folder in the server ROOT directory. Place your pdf in “thepdfblob”:

var thepdfblob
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'
plugins.file.writeFile(plugins.file.convertToJSFile(filepath), thepdfblob)
if (application.getApplicationType()==5)
{
	application.showURL('/pdf/pfc'+rnd+'.pdf','_self')
}
else
{
	application.showURL(filepath,'_self')
}

Just noticed that your MailPro plugin now provides access to Google e-mail.

That’s cool!
