<h2>1. Defining possible PDF values<br>
|
||
|
</h2>
|
||
|
The first step to PDF output is defining what values your module
|
||
|
provides. This is needed for the PDF editor, otherwise the user will
|
||
|
not be able to select values from your module.<br>
|
||
|
<br>
|
||
|
The PDF values are specified with <span style="font-weight: bold;">get_pdfFields()</span>
|
||
|
or <span style="font-weight: bold;">meta['PDF_fields']</span>.<br>
|
||
|
<br>
|
||
|
<span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Example:</span><br style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">
|
||
|
<br>
|
||
|
The <span style="font-style: italic;">ieee802Device</span>
|
||
|
module has only one attribute and therefore one PDF value: the MAC
|
||
|
address.<br>
|
||
|
<br>
|
||
|
<table style="width: 100%; text-align: left;" class="mod-code" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">

|

<h2>2. Providing data to put into the PDF file<br>
|
||
|
</h2>
|
||
|
When the user wants to create a PDF file the LDAP account is loaded and
|
||
|
you module is asked for data to put into the PDF file.<br>
|
||
|
<br>
|
||
|
This is done with <span style="font-weight: bold;">get_pdfEntries()</span>. Please also see <span style="font-style: italic;">baseModule::addSimplePDFField() </span>for simple cases like below.<br>
|
||
|
<br>
|
||
|
<span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Example:</span><br style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">
|
||
|
<br>
|
||
|
The <span style="font-style: italic;">ieee802Device</span>
|
||
|
module will return the MAC address list of the account.<br>
|
||
|

|
||
