Hello,
On the Powerbuilder 2022R3 What's new tab, there is a quick presentation of Fillable PDFs
I am looking for the complete document that explains how to implement this.
Does someone has found it?
Thanks
Daniel

// create rich text edit control in order to add it to pdf document for validation
date ldate_date = Today()
string comboitems[] = {"Yes", "No" }
string ls_initialtext = "~n~r~n~r~n~r~n~r~n~r"
string ls_signature = fill(" ", 100)
string ls_dateformat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
rte_validation.selecttextall()
rte_validation.ReplaceText (ls_initialtext)
rte_validation.SelectText(1,1,0,0)
rte_validation.ReplaceText("Timesheet Approved:")
rte_validation.SelectText(1,100,0,0)
rte_validation.Formcomboboxinsert( 'Answer:', comboitems, false )
rte_validation.SelectText(2,1,0,0)
rte_validation.ReplaceText( "Approval Date:" )
rte_validation.SelectText(2, 100, 0, 0)
rte_validation.Formdatefieldinsert( ldate_date, true, ls_dateformat, 3000 )
rte_validation.SelectText(3, 1, 0, 0)
rte_validation.ReplaceText("Client Signature:")
rte_validation.SelectText(3, 100, 0, 0)
rte_validation.Formtextfieldinsert( ls_signature )
rte_validation.SelectText(4,1,0,0)
rte_validation.ReplaceText("Consultant Signature:")
rte_validation.SelectText(4, 100, 0, 0)
ls_signature = "Daniel Seguin" + fill(" ",87)
rte_validation.ReplaceText(ls_signature)
rte_validation.ReplaceText (ls_initialtext)
lpdf_validator.importrichtextedit( rte_validation )
ll_return = lpdf_validator.save( "C:\local\mailboxes\powerapps\validate_timecheet.pdf")
========================================================================
Once we add the rte to the pdf document
and save it
and you open the pdf, the fields are fillable.
Now I just have to make it prettier!
