RE: [flexcoders] Whats the best way of adding print/pdf output to a flex app?

[Iko Knyphausen]

By all means... I am thrilled there is so much contribution to this topic. One of my interests is to also print Charts that were created as a result from a data driven query. So a backend/server based data-driven solution alone will not help, I am afraid. Flash paper sounds promising... Since these are Adobe / MM related products, it would be kind of super-nice ;-) wink if there could be a native mx:control (like a print-page container).   Ideas? -Iko From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Mike Anderson Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2006 5:00 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Whats the best way of adding print/pdf output to a flex app?   Continuing this thread -   Since FlashPaper is native to the whole "Macromedia and Adobe" suite of products, would FlashPaper be just as good of a solution as a PDF?   And with that said, if FlashPaper is an acceptable solution for some users, could a FlashPaper document be created directly within a Flex Application?   This would give a user, a ton of power, if they wanted to create documents for distribution, or for hard copy / archival purposes.   I'd love to hear more regarding this topic, and I hope you don't mind me chiming in on your original thread Iko - I am sure any further information will benefit both of us :)   Thanks,   Mike   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Nick Collins Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2006 5:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Whats the best way of adding print/pdf output to a flex app? I would say your best bet is likely to store your data into a database (which you're likely already doing) then use a backend PDF writer or report generation script in whatever backend language you're using. Coldfusion has this built in I know, and I know there are components available for .Net that allow quite a bit of flexibility.

Any components out there that will help dimensions, page breaks, etc. Thanks Iko __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Software development tool Software development Software development services Home design software Software development company Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
