Create a pdf with db data placed at different positions

Scriptcase 9 General
#1

My Problems:

  1. I have to create exports to pdf or word from a grid. Special requirement: The title and an address field come from different database tables. How to create it?
  2. I have to create an export from a grid to pdf A4 portrait. The grid has more fields in a row than will fit onto a line on pdf. How to configure breaking the grid row into several lines on pdf?

Hi Sawyer, I want to share my experiences about Scriptcase and PDF with you:

  1. This could be solved getting the data via onLoad event: there you can query your tables and set the fields values.

  2. You could set a column to be “multiple lines text”, but Scriptcase uses fixed height rows, so, if you have short and long texts, and you left enought space for the big ones, there will be some empty space between rows when the text is short. In other words, rows are not elastic

In the past, when I need any kind of “special requirements”, I ended up customizing the code because the Scriptcase options are limited.
