Export to another application (Web based)

manphys

Hi! I'm trying to build a web page that allows the user to choose a record from the database. In that record there is a blob field where a string generated by WPTools is saved. Now, in my web page, I want to print/print preview that document. What is the best and easier way to do that? Someone can help me??

Thanks

I would say : generate a PDF file on the fly which is provided to the visitor for Print/Preview.

I recommend to create a the file on the harddrive (not pass it as 'result') - and use some logic to delete files which are older than X hours.

Thanks Julian! I'll try that. But, by the way, there's a way to do that, reading directlly from the dabase, using my web application, without WPTools?

Thanks

Hi! it's me again! How can I save as PDF? I need to use wPDF?

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, wPDF will do this for you. You can use the supplied PDFExport component, simply set 'Source' and the export.

You can test the export quality suing the demo from https://www.wpcubed.com/download.htm
