Re: PDF widget print quality

I'm not sure it is possible. Livecode's printing tends to be card based and at card resolution, typically 72 dpi. I recall seeing some efforts on the lists and forums to make an object 4 times bigger (75 dpi x 4 = 300 dpi) so that when it is printed to a 300dpi printer is is a higher resolutio

Re: PDF Widget and JavaScript

Thanks Ralph I figured as much. It’s actually not difficult to recreate from scratch if the structure, header and footer is known. The trouble is the fields. If I had a list of form controls for a given form, I could create one from scratch easily enough. The fillable forms have to be saved wi

Re: PDF Widget No Filled Forms

No big rush. I can open the form in a web browser if necessary. My idea was to have a Native Document Viewer like the document management app we currently use, but I am not using my app for that yet. I just generate filled forms for service at the moment. I will create a bug report with a sample

Re: PDF Widget No Filled Forms

Bob, as a workaround you could create a temporary pdf file that is then displayed in the pdf widget. You'll need the free tool PDFTK server with its fill-form option for this. PDFTK server runs on macOS, Windows and some Linux versions. PDFTK server is free https://www.pdflabs.com If you nee

Re: PDF widget and XPDFviewer

I think the answer is complex. They are not the same thing, but eventually, the widget will replace the external. The current issue is that the widget is lacking some features the external has, so, if, (like us) you PDF work is based on the external, migrating to the widget is not possible (dep

hhhmmm, yes, sorry let me refrase that What I did is download the pdf then opened an external browser, and as soon the browser was closed it went back to the app. Don't know exactly anymore why I did not use the browser widget, so I was remembering it wrong. But probably because displayin

Not everyone needs it. I had the business edition for a year and for what it is worth, the pdf-widget did not offer anything I needed. I had hoped I could use it for mark up and annotations but did not find a way to do that. I do however think that it would be a good thing if it was possible to
