rudym88 Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 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
Vaughan Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 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.
