Hi, I have a k2 smartform and I would like to provide the print functionality to print the form. Please suggest some inputs. Note: I don't want to use browser print option.

Dear,

 

1- Add Button and give it Tooltip "Action Button".

2- Add Datalable and set an expression to it:

 

"<script type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function() { $("[title='Action Button']").click(function() {window.print()});});</script>"

 

** when you click on the button it will show the print pop up.

Dear,

 

you're missing the opening < at the beginning of the expression and please note that you're wrapping it with double quotes "" , remove the wrapping quotes.

 

it should look exactly like this :

 

<script type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function() { $("[title='Action Button']").click(function() {window.print()});});</script>

Hi ,

 

How do I avoid printing instructions in the form ? I have instructions added as labels but when I want to print the form , then I would like to avoid printing those labels.

 

How to do this ?

 

Thanks and Regards,

I have used this print button on my k2 form and it works fine in a browser but is it possible to use this in the k2 app for ipad? at present if you hit the print button when using a form in the app nothing happens.

H

what if I want to set the frame's width to 100% and then print the page?

J

This worked great for printing everything on the form.  I added the print button and data label to the view - is there any way to just print the view?  I'm using a list view to select the detail on the item view.

N

Thanks this works 100%.

 

Now I want to hide all the buttons on the form being printed so that the buttons don't show on the printed pdf file, please help.

Hi,


 


I am aware of one way to do this.


 


you will need to hide any view or controls that you don't want to print before triggering the print function


You can configure the print button to hid the view as below:


 



Add two transfer actions as shown above to do the following:


 


1- Clear data label


2- transfer the following script to the data label


 


<script>window.print();</script>

Hi   @DeepakChacko


 


Can you make sure you have the data label property 'literal' checked and if you are using k2 Five, make sure to uncheck 'prevent XSS' property
