Printing and emailing form IWP

Featured Replies

Hi all,

I am a consultant and created a Ticketing system for my needs its been working great, now I would like to put it on the web to be able to create my tickets with out using my laptop.

To accomplish this I am coming up with two issues.

Is there a way to to have a button on a IWP layout that would allow me to generate a pdf from to;

a) print form to a local printer andor

: Send form via email andor

c) Save form locally.

Because when I am on site I never know what resources I will have available on the clients computer I would like to accomplish this without having to use any resources on local computer.

2- I am currently using FMPro 8 will upgrading to 10 give me any benefits to accomplish what I need.

Thanks

Rudy

Printing is the weakest link with web applications (not just IWP) because everything is at the mercy of the browser being used.

Saving PDfs is a function of FMP or, if printing through a browser, the operating system's ability to print to pdf.

What you really need is for the server to generate a pdf and then save it to a web-accessible location, then send the link to this pdf file to the browser. AFAIK this is beyond the abilities of IWP.
