At the xpages bootcamp in Amsterdam last year – details were given of a mechanism to export data as pdf. This new project – ITWU Exporter On XPages – shows how to implement this functionality in a standard defined way without any of the heavy lifting. Aditionally the other formats rtf,xls and html are provided.
You can find more here http://www.openntf.org/blogs/openntf.nsf/d6plinks/NHEF-8U4B2X and also a mini movie that explains the options – especially the template option – which I can see immediate uses for. You can present a page – get users to enter values and out pops a pdf based on the predefined template – with the appropriate substitutions.
Great news – another great piece of functionality added to the Xpages arsenal – with the minimum of effort. Happy Coding.
