  Word (docx) template based reports

  Could you try to describe more in details how would you like this to work?

  I would guess that it will (from one part) work the same way as the xlsx recipe.
  There will be a new entity "docx template" which will represent the binary docx file uploaded by user.
  This entity will be associated with the normal template. Just like the xlsx template.
  The new recipe will somehow run a tool of your choice and fill the associated template.
  So I believe very similar what xlsx recipe does.
  The difference would be that there will be a tool used to fill the docx.
  Where in xlsx we unzip the xlsx, fill it using templating engines and zip it back.

  Here you can find xlsx sources

  Hi, is there a way possible that i can use {{name}} (JSON object name) inside the javascript ( like we do in the HTML) inside the EXCEL , rather then the afterRender or beforeRender .

  do you mean to access name inside the helpers of template? if yes, then you can pass it explicetly to the helper (as a parameter) when using it from handlebars, like {{trimField name date}}. unlike scripts, helpers can not access all the data in single variable, you need to pass what you need as parameters if you want to do something with it.

  The afterRender & beforeRender are very straightforward & best solution to many problems , but since i don't get the data , unless someone post the data` so this is the main problem.

  sorry i'm getting confused for what you want..

  since i don't get the data , unless someone post the data

  will your report only be called on form submit? if yes, then i don't see the problem, you will be able to get all data present during submit and send it to jsreport, in which it will process your data with the helpers that you defined. or are you trying to describe that you can not test the report easily without going to the flow of opening your form and then clicking submit? if that is the issue, you can attach some sample data to your report (there are some actions for that in the jsreport studio UI), so it allows you to test it right in jsreport studio without sending data

  The idea is to reuse a rest service, for 'n' template, but for this it is necessary to receive a parameter, in rest services I can obtain data from a certain user, and thus fill in the corresponding data in each template, each template represents a user and this pdf template, let's say a report is sent by email every client every so often through a shedule. In this way avoid generating a static template per client, but cunsumir the information of a rest service, just changing a parameter.

  Hm no. Are you able to replicate it in playground?
  Do you see the same behavior with "hello world" template or this is just happening for your particular template?

  Thank you. That's what we are doing now. The mess is not as much in the studio; but in the version control / file explorer / etc. We can certainly wait a month :)

  i won't be super helpful here, but I would recommend searching wkhtmltopdf github issues.
  There are usually plenty of problems with some workarounds mentioned.

  This problem can have something to do with different dpi settings.

  We have steps required for running chrome on amazon linux described here
  https://jsreport.net/learn/amazon-linux

  I guess you need to run those in your .ebextensions.

  You can also check these links which pops up on the first google search
  https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/issues/765
  https://gist.github.com/chimmelb/6342504893b2b9fce0f4a8efd096ae60

  If you are just trying to set jsreport quickly up.
  I would recommend to use docker in elastic beanstalk, then it should be just about setting the jsreport official image.

  Does it work for you on local? I would start with that.
  Heroku should support custom npm packages so you should be able to roll the same app.

  It shows "none" because the configuration file was not found in the app directory.
  Do you have jsreport.config.json or dev.config.json file in the app directory?

  Thanks for the reply!

  I did spot the option to force a page break but it's that condition I think I need to determine that I'm struggling with. It's for a quote template and sometimes you have just a small piece of text followed by the estimate, other times it can be half an essay! I think I need to probably use the length of the quote details and work out at what length I should consider the before forcing a page break. Only I also have manipulation of the text to include line breaks so that may also be hit and miss.

  I'll play around with it and post any ideas I come across that I think may help others.
  Thanks again for the suggestion - it's helped narrow the path :)

  Best Regards

  Hi Jan, On using the beta, the footer fails to identify items.

  I've just tested it and it works for me. You can access the first item on page like this for example.

  {{#each $pdf.pages}} {{#if 18}} <div style="page-break-before: always;"></div> {{/if}} <div> dynamic header with first item value {{#with (lookup ../$pdf.pages 18)}} {{items.[0]}} {{/with}} </div> {{/each}}

  and mergeWholeDocuments, doesn't work on Landscape documents.

  Works for me as well. Do you have both header and main template configured to be landscape?

  I uploaded here export with an example. I see 10x speed improvement on 20 pages.
