We have a custom component that shows a custom report va HTML, CSS and JS. How would I proceed of I want to automate PDF generation of it using for example third party HTML to PDF? 

 

Hello Freddy,

I think the best options is to use a web connector to call a external endpoint that would do the conversion for you.

As you are using the universal GUI, you can't really use a windows command to let a local program do the conversion, and i don't think making something in the database is easier than a external endpoint.


@Edo Spijker thanks for the reply, I guess something like that already. I found a nice little tool (jsreports) that allows us to generate various reports and I can call it in a custom component as well as via web connector to retrieve the generated report. 

Perhaps an interesting tool voor Thinkwise as an alternative for the quite limited devexpress.
