printClass

About the project

Mendix module that sends one (the first) or all html elements on the screen that have a given identifier class to the print dialogue or saves these html elements to a pdf file.

The main advantage is that the Javascript action also allows printing elements that are currently not supported by the Document templates (e.g., anyChart elements).

Typical usage scenario

When sending page content to the printer, one often only wants to print certain elements on the screen. For example, there may be a print button on the screen that does not need printing itself. In that case, you can use this Javascript action. Only those elements on the screen that have a identifier class added, will be sent to the printer.

Instead of sending targeted page content to the printer, the module also allows creating a corresponding pdf.

Configuration

• Add an identifier class to the element(s) that need printing
• Create a Nanoflow action that calls the JS_PrintClass_Printer / JS_PrintClass_PDF Javascript action
• Set Class name tot he identifier class
• Set Prints all occurances to true when all elements with the identifier class need to be sent to the printer or false if only the first element with the identifier class needs to be sent to the printer.
