Add custom button on form to generate PDF and Save As

Confluence User - 24 Sep, 2020

Hi,

I want to add a custom button on a form which when clicked will generate a PDF of that form (including the filled in data) and then open a file browser to ask me where I want to save that PDF on the file system.

Is this functionality already available?

If not, any ideas how I can do that with Joget?

Further to my questions above, when I add a button anywhere on a form and click on it, the form is submitted.

Is that expected?

I would assume that the form would be submitted only when I press on the Submit button, which is automatically added by Joget.

Thanks

Hi there,

Is this functionality already available?

On every form, at the lower right corner of the form, there's a Print button. You can then select save as PDF.

If not, any ideas how I can do that with Joget?

On Joget Marketplace, there's this: https://marketplace.joget.org/jw/web/userview/mp/mpp/_/vad?id=download_pdf_datalist_action_v1

Further to my questions above, when I add a button anywhere on a form and click on it, the form is submitted.

Is that expected?

Maybe this would help? Every time I click on my custom button the page reloads/ refreshes in joget?

Thanks Ian. The PDF generated using the "print" is badly formatted. I will look the app that you mentioned to see if it can produce better results.
