To generate a PDF from an HTML report you have to configure the next steps:
- set the option <generatePdf>true</generatePdf> in the declarations section of the report module
<reports ......> <declarations> <chartFormat id="chartFormat1"> .... </chartFormat> <summaryFormat id="formatStatusMap"> .... </summaryFormat> <htmlTableFormat id="htmlTableFormat1NL" tableStyle="tableStyle1"> .... </htmlTableFormat> <dateFormat id="dateFormat1"> ... </dateFormat> <numberFormat id="numberFormat1"> ... </numberFormat> <generatePdf>true</generatePdf> <templateDir>$REPORT_TEMPLATE_DIR$</templateDir> <reportsRootDir>$REPORT_ROOT_DIR$</reportsRootDir> <reportsRootSubDir>nl/fluvial</reportsRootSubDir> <sendToLocalFileSystem>true</sendToLocalFileSystem> <timeZone .. <locale .... </declarations>
- Note that the option sendToLocalFileSystem should be set to true. It is not possible to generate a PDF from zipfile (and so to store in the database)
- in the global.properties the option REPORT_HTML2PDF_PROGRAM should be defined.
For example to REPORT_HTML2PDF_PROGRAM=%REGION_HOME%/Modules/Reports/bin/html2pdf.cmd
See attached the binaries.
Currently the wkhtmltopdf program is used. See attached a complete version as to be used with FEWS.
