Preview PDF?

User TheFencepedia 2024-07-20 00:00:06

Hi,

Is there any way to preview the PDF output of a calculator? Other than using it on the frontend and generating one? I'd like to be able to see what the layout is without having to fill it in every time to see!

Thanks.

Hi,
there is no such option at the backend, it wil be quite unaccurate without the real data (inputs/results) to be inserted. Usually the way to test quickly is to set all 'default' values for the fields, so the test doesn't force you to fill them, only to launch pdf button again.
Anyway you could also try to fill them once, and when you see the pdf button you can introduce pdf layout changes, use the button, change again and use again the button....it will generate each output with the current result and pdf layout saved.

Hope this helps, regards
