Created a PDF application that generates a PDF with a given filename and stores it on the Server PDF Destination, but upon creation keep getting a confirmation reading PDF generation finished.
Might seem a trivial request but how can this be disabled without having to click the BACK link to continue execution?
Is there any other alternative how to generate the PDF created in the PDF Report application, maybe programmatically, save it and send it as an attachment?
You can always use the tcpdf library (included in scriptcase) to create a pdf or even use ezpdf, fpdf, dompdf, html2pdf so there are enough alternatives if you want…
tcpdf is very well documented. Check out their website… I suggets using tcpdf check it out here: https://tcpdf.org/examples/
Sending a file ‘automatically’? Check out here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3802510/force-to-open-save-as-popup-open-at-text-link-click-for-pdf-in-html
Thanks RR for the feedback. So essentially one would create a blank application that uses the tcpdf library and then work natively in PHP?
That is half of the answer yes.
You can not use scriptcase pdf code Layout PDF code section so no [MYFIELD] and such… There you can only use proper clean php.
The trick I would use is to create a blank application and place some fields where I want my things to show up. Then code the rest as much as I can in the events (gathering data and so on) and in the Layout PDF Code I put the remaing stuff. So basically collect the data you need from the events and do the layout after that…
