Print to PDF with Javascript

Hello fellow Nintex Admins,

 

i am testing Nintex Forms Enterprise at the moment, to see how the implemented PDF creation works. The problem is, there seems to be no button binding for this feature and i can only print through the Ribbon Bar. In my form i don't show the Ribbon Bar, so the user can't access the Ribbon Menu Button.

 

Is there a Nintex JavaScript method to trigger the feature?

 

Cheers

Daniel

Hi,

I finally found the code to call.

NWF.FormFiller.PrintToPDF.PrintToPDF();

Hi,

I'm in the same boat. I really also hope for a similar solution to forms for o365.

Anybody?

Kind Regards, Rune

H Michael,

Excuse my ingnorance, but where would I put the code to call that you suggested? (NWF.FormFiller.PrintToPDF.PrintToPDF)

Hi Susie,

You would create a button and use JavaScript. Then you can put your Javascript on the form in a function

and call that function from your button.

Thank you.  That worked.  For other newbies, here is what I did:

  1. I dragged the Button control onto the form
  2. Double click on the Button
  3. Below is my configuration

Name: I used PrintToPDF

Button Action: Select JavaScript

Button Label: PDF

Appearance

   Visible: Yes

Ribbon

   Show on Ribbon: Yes

Advanced

   Visible when in view mode: Yes

Enable when in View Mode: Yes

Client click: Type - NWF.FormFiller.PrintToPDF.PrintToPDF();

Make other changes as needed or leave default

Save

Publish
