Load PDF and Print Details

[cdmmaui]

Hello,

Is it possible to load a PDF document (see link below) and print data from FWH application in defined fields? If so, where can I see an example?

You can find a solution in the spanish forum

Hello,

Thank you for the link. However, where can I find a good example? The links on the post no longer work.

Sincerely,

[dutch]

My code for example.

Code: Select all

*-----------------------------------*
Function OpenPdf(cTempFile,cReport)
LOCAL oWnd, oPdf, arq

Default cReport := cTempFile

arq := ""

if PDFActivex(@arq) 
    DEFINE WINDOW oWnd TITLE cReport

    oPdf = TActiveX():New( oWnd, arq )  // "AcroPDF.PDF" )

    // oPdf:LoadFile := cTempFile
        oPdf:Do( "LoadFile", cTempFile )
    
    oWnd:oClient = oPdf

    ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd MAXIMIZED ;
                ON INIT SETWINDOWPOS( oWnd:hWnd, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3 ) ;
                VALID (oPdf:End(), .T. )
else
    MsgAlert('Acrobat Reader is not install !')
end
RETURN NIL

Hi Dutch,

Thank you. However I am looking to automatically transfer data from my FWH application to the PDF document. I do not want the user to have to re-enter data. I am looking to do a PDF Meld type transfer.

Darrell,

You might try what I have done in the past with TXT files.

Generate the PDF using whatever tool you have and include in it keywords for the fields you want to insert--something like [*field1*] (including the brackets and asterisks). This will be your form. Then load the entire file into a memory variable using memoread() or the binary functions if needed. Then do a search and replace for each of the fields using left() and right(). Then write the file out to a temp name and print it.

Hi James,

Thank you. Actually, I was able to use a third party application called Pdf Meld to transfer data from my FWH application to the PDF. It seems to be working well.
