Note that html "pre" tags are needed around the message body if you use from textarea controls in your message body. By default any newlines in the textarea are removed by html. This is a feature of html that can be turned off using the html "pre" tag. |

Print View
...
All frevvo forms are printable. By selecting a form's [[V4_Designing_Forms#Printable_2 | printable checkbox]] a print [[Image:printer.gif]] icon will be displayed at the top of your form. When the form is used and the printer icon is clicked the form is rendered in a new browser tab in an HTML printable format.

PDF Integration
Forms submission can be converted to PDF documents. The PDF document can be saved in frevvo's Submission Repository, sent as an attachment to a submission email, or as an attachment to a POST to a back-end system such as a document management system.
The [[V4_Designing_Forms#Form_.26_Doc_Action_Wizards | Form and Doc action wizards]] for email and post submission control whether or not the form is converted to a PDF document and attached to the submission. You can control which form fields are added to the PDF via the [[V4_Designing_Forms#Printable | printable property]] on each field in your form.===
Document Service
...
frevvo's built-in document service can be used for processing your form data prior to submission.
The document service is accessed via the Url /service. It supports the following parameters:* '''
- method=POST
...
- -- required and should be left POST
...
- target=[url]
...
- -- [url] is the path to your servlet
The target will be passed name/value pairs of all of the controls in your form with their current values. The target will also be passed the collection of xml documents comprising the form's current data. The collection will include at least one document in the namespace 'form' which contains all the data in controls added to the form from palette. The collection will also include one xml document for each data source added to the form.====
Custom Print View
...
One example use of frevvo's document service is to provide a print preview different from frevvo's default print view.
All forms by default are printable. To make a form printable edit the form and check the [[V4_Designing_Forms#Printable_2 | printable property]]. Sometimes form designer required a highly customized print view. By calling frevvo's document service you can pass all the form's xml documents to another target servlet that transforms the data into exactly the format you need and then returns html to another browser window.
To do this:*
- Add a message control to your form
...
- Add the following html to your message control
...
| Code Block |
|---|
<center> <a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="window.open(document.location.toString().split('?')[0] + '/service?_method=POST&target=http://[myhost]:[myport]/Myservices/service/print/myForm')">Print</a> </center> |
...
Your transformation service should return html to the browser window. You can style the message control as a button by adding a border, background color and even dragging into a panel to size the "button".===
