Hi, I need to build a PDF report (whcih is really a form). This will have one page with full of instructions and the next page as form. Theer will be labels and areas where I should let the users to edit and print it.
Is it possible through IBI? (any code snippets would be helpful.)
Thanks in advance.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Kerry,

IF you can find out what the pdf-code is to create an entry field in the pdf, you MAY be able to tweak this into the document. I doubt that it will work, because the pdf generator that is used with webfocus can only create read-only pdf documents. Your best bet would be to file a NFR, although it will not be in the product in the foreseeable future, I'm afraid.

Why not just have the instructions and data entry on an HTML page and then click to generate the report, especially as you can achieve this in WF now.

Thanks for the inputs and suggestions.
The PDF report / form which we are thinking of generating is distributed to the users via email. It is not part of an interactive system where we have a GUI and on the click we produce the PDF.
