Installation Instructions |
The library behind this extension provides the binaries for different operating systems. Up until version 1.0.0.3 this extension was only compatibile with the .NET version of the OutSystems platform and so the executable for windows we're included in the extension.
When adding support for the JAVA version it was clear that due to the size of the linux binaries combined with the fact that you might have different flavors of the operating system which could involve different executables, was no longer viable to pack them in the extension.
So we created a mechanism on which you now need to upload the binaries for your specific OS version. This requires a few additional steps but gives you the flexibility of being in control of whats is being used. In order to upload the binaries what you need to do is:
1) Go to the wkhtml download page and download the approriate binaries for your OS version Note: For windows installations the most recommended version is the MinGW version under "bleeding edge". For additional information please check the FAQ 2) Use a compression software to extract the binaries from the installation package (e.g 7-Zip) 3) Go to the administration page and upload the correct binaries. Only Users with the permission Html2PdfAdmin will be able to access the page.
In a windows environment you should get something like this: In a linux environment you should get something like this: What if I'm upgrading from a previous version We tried to make the transition a smoth as possible but it will involve changes to your code (luckly its just a search and replace).
If you were using the actions from HtmlConvertToPdf extension directly those actions have changed but we've created similar actions on the HtmlToPdfConverter espace module. These actions have the same exact name and signature as the previous and so you just need to add the references to the new ones and remove the old ones.
If this is done in one shot you should have to do anything else. |
