XPages PDF Exporter Custom Control - News: Version 1.1 released


New features in version 1.1

 

-  Added the internal design file resources support for PDF templates. By this you can put the PDF templates inside the NSF 
and use them as code level instead of accessing them using HTTP (?OpenFileResource)
These internal file resources are located in the Java source folder (Java Perspective).
This is better and more secure way to access the template files.
Note! I'm still looking for a way to access the "real" File Resources at code level (Resources ==>  Files).
See documentation for details.

- Dynamic data support. From this version you are able to read the content from open xpages page fields and put them in to the PDF document.
In addition the controller supports also eval javascript syntax to execute fully dynamic javascript code on the fly (e.g. read a value from sessionScope variable or use @formulas ...).

- Better error catching, added more try-catch blocks and print statements.
- In case of an exception, instead of trying to open an empty (non existing) PDF file, control sends an error 500 code to browser.



In this field you can enter the actual news.

You can use the rich text editor for rich text formating. You can also enter HTML to embed objects, e.g. to embed a YouTube video or a screenshot of the project. In this case use '[' and ']' to mark the passthrough HTML as such.

Please note that the first time you use the new UI your description is converted from rich text to MIME. You might want to copy and paste the raw plain text from the old UI in the new UI so that you don't loose information.
