Export to pdf not editable

Post by kerrysng »

The pdf export creates a pdf that is not editable. Whenever i try to fill and sign the pdf the following error pops up: Operation failed because Adobe Acrobat encountered an unknown error

I'm exporting to pdf via:

// Stimulsoft Reports module
var Stimulsoft = require('stimulsoft-reports-js');
console.log("Stimulsoft Reports loaded");
Stimulsoft.Base.StiLicense.loadFromFile("./license.key");
// Loading fonts
Stimulsoft.Base.StiFontCollection.addOpentypeFontFile("Roboto-Black.ttf");
console.log("Font loaded");

// Creating new report
var report = new Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport();
console.log("New report created");

// Loading report template
report.loadFile("Crew_Timesheet.mrt");
console.log("Report template loaded");

report.dictionary.databases.clear();
report.regData("timecard", "timecard", event.body);

// Renreding report
report.render();
console.log("Report rendered. Pages count: ", report.renderedPages.count);

// Export to PDF
var pdfData = report.exportDocument(Stimulsoft.Report.StiExportFormat.Pdf);

var base64data = new Buffer(pdfData, 'binary').toString('base64');

var responseBody = {
pdfData: base64data,
item: event
};

Hello,

In some cases our engine use async methods and the report could not be rendered and exported right this way.
You could find the right methods in this sample:

Thank you.
