| Re: [birt-dev] Birt with editable fields |
Hello, thank you for your reply, here comes additionnal explications for editable fields : By default, BIRT is unable to generate editable fields for reports in PDF format, ie fields whose content can be edited directly on the final report. A patch has been necessary to make this feature available. In this patch, the emitter for generating PDF reports "org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emiter.pdf" was patched by changing only two classes: PDFRender.java and PDFPage.java. These have been amended to insert the following two features. To insert an editable field in a BIRT model, we have to use the "line through" style on an selected element, this style is located next to the "underline", "italic" and "bold" styles in BIRT. For example, if the model has an element of type text with the value "Suzuki", in the generation that will produce an editable field with predefined value "Suzuki". See in the attachments, an example element before the generation and after. If you have additionnal questions, I am available to answer ;) Have a nice day, On Wed, Aug 20, 2014 at 8:07 PM, Paul Clenahan <PClenahan@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Aurels, > > Apologies for the delayed response.

So, I modified the BIRT runtime source (4.3.0) in order to create editable fields when we use the style 'linethrough' in the templates files. I modified the classes PDFRender.java and PDFPage.java at the location org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emiter.pdf. > So, I available for more information. > > Link of my post : https://wiki.eclipse.org/File:AddEditableFields.zip > > Best regards, > > -- > M. @ur3l$76 > Email : lehavrai76@xxxxxxxxx > _______________________________________________ > birt-dev mailing list > birt-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx > To change your delivery options, retrieve your password, or unsubscribe from this list, visit https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/birt-dev > _______________________________________________ > birt-dev mailing list > birt-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx > To change your delivery options, retrieve your password, or unsubscribe from this list, visit > https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/birt-dev -- M. @ur3l$76 Email : lehavrai76@xxxxxxxxx
