Hi ,
I have a requirement to generate pdf files daily and to display dynamically with the current date every time the PDF is opened. I want to embed javascript in the pdf which displays the current date whenever customer opens the pdf file . Is there any way to do this at the pdf creation time ( similar to permissions)? please let me know how can we accompalish this.

Thanks

Currently the feature is not supported.

We'll investigate today if PD4ML architecture would allow to embed JavaScript to generated PDFs in principle.

We successfully prototyped the feature and were able to auto-insert the date info into a form field. Unfortunately we did not enabled the feature in the just-released v380fx2, as there was not enough time to extensively test it. It is going to be available with the next beta-release of PD4ML.

FYI: we achieved that with

this.getField("i1").value = new Date().toDateString()

JavaScript code, assigned to OpenAction of PDF.

The source HTML document supposed to define:

<input name=i1 type=text style="border: none">

PD4ML must explicitly enable PDF form output:

pd4ml.generatePdfForms(true, null);

thanks for the response.

So When can we excpect this new beta-release of PD4ML? Also please let me know how can we assign javascript to OpenAction of pdf programatically.

thanks.

Currently the method signature is like that:
public void addDocumentActionHandler( String actionType, String javaScript );
We'll see during the testing if any extra parameters are needed.

We could send you a development version to test closer to the end of the next week.

I couldn't see any beta-release last week of pd4ml which incorporates adding javascript to pdf. If you can provide by this week it will be helpful.

Thanks,

Most probably it will be available for download tomorrow or day after tomorrow.

If you want to test the actual development build right now - please send a request to support pd4ml com

I have recieved development version and it's working fine as per my requirement. Thanks a lot for the support.
Please let me know when can i expect the next beta release with this functionality so that i can find a workaround( till next beta release).

It is going to be released this week.

Can we expect new beta release by this week? It would be of great help if you can release by this week.
Thanks,
