From HTML view to pdf
From HTML view to pdf
Hi,
I have created a nice invoice for my application, based on a HTML View that combines data from various forms. I have discovered in the process that HTML Views are incredibly powerful: congratulations on the 3.0 version, which is truly a major improvement.
Problem: how do I actually send the invoices to our customers? I was hoping to just print them on paper or print them into a pdf file, but this is much trickier than I thought. The HTML View in question is triggered through a Function, so I have tried the various options for windows there: "same window", "popup", "new window", all to no avail. When I have a popup window and try to print it into a pdf, I get the rest of the app in the background... no good. And there is still the color border to the window itself and the "close" caption at the upper right corner.
Any idea on how to turn a live HTML view into something printable / a pdf? I am so close now to my final goal... I can actually SEE the beautiful invoices with all the correct data - but cannot use it.
Thanks in advance for your assistance,
Charles
