  I am afraid docx recipe cannot fill forms at this moment.
  I will add this to the backlog and we try to take a look to support this in the future releases.

  Oh, sorry. That wasn't so hard.

  @font-face { font-family: 'myriad-pro-regular'; src: url({#asset MyriadPro-Regular.otf @encoding=dataURI}); format('otf'); }

  But I'm still curious of those buttons. Why don't I have them?

  we just need to finish the 2.6.0 release and then we start to plan the next tasks.

  Are you depending on others to fix something?

  we can fix it by ourselves (in this case we don't depend of external lib/mantainers), i think @jan_blaha will take care of this, there are some improvements for pdf-utils that need to be done and this issue will be included there too.

  Can i help?

  yes, basically you will need to debug why this line throws error when parsing the external PDF, but it can be tricky because it may require some knowledge of the PDF spec.

  i understand this is a problem that stops you.. the pdf parsing is a bit tricky so from time to time there will be always a case in which the parsing fails and we need to do fix

  hi! this is something hard to know, because it is really specific to Highchart's support for printing. maybe it needs some tweaks but i don't have the enough experience to tell you what can fix it or if you will have other problems with the charts in other scenarios. i only have some experience with Chartjs, which is the library i've used to create some of the showcase demos here. you can check this showcase how i was able to create a lot of charts and using margins in the page, maybe there is some style that can help you to fix your issue with Highcharts, i remember having some similar problem also with Chartjs but i was able to solve those by using some options { responsive: true, maintainAspectRatio: false, } when creating the charts., maybe there are similar options in Highcharts that you can try

  I'd guess that your header and footer are obscuring the table. If you merge your header and footer with pdf-utils you have to make room for them by increasing the margins in your main report.

  How to render a TOC on page two?

  Solved this by moving my cover page into a separate report, which I then prepended to my main report (after merging the TOC). This way I could position both the "clickable main TOC" and the "page numbered merged TOC" at the top of the first page.

  The url will be something like localhost I guess. You can make your own web server, put there an image and check how the host looks like when it is requested by jsreport/chrome.

  I think should IP addresses for the restriction. The url isn't secure anyway. The ip address will be the same as your EC2 ip.

  You are probably having more than 5 templates in the store and don't have a proper license.
  If this is the case, you need to remove some templates first in order to start the instance again.
  Open data directory and delete templates you don't need. (Backup the first)

  Hi,
  you can apply license key on your local jsreport instance.
  It will at the first start create file jsreport.license.json which you can copy-paste to the root directory of your production isolated instance.

  I like jsrender very much, but I have now converted my reports to Handlebars. This makes it much easier when searching for help. Handlebars is much more widely used and all jsreport examples (and most forum q&a) are in Handlebars syntax.

  I'm sorry, but you lost me. I must have misunderstood your previous post.
  "Note that helpers can't modify the input req.data for the other processing like child templates or scripts"

  Question: If I add data to options.data.root (as per the code above) from within my main template with the help from a helper function, will a child template get access to this updated data in "root"?

  Templating engines don't work in the stream way and require to have all data in the memory.

  You can, however, read partial data step by step using beforeRender script and aggregate (throw away what you don't need).

  You have jsreport custom scripts where you can do everything you want.
  There is normal nodejs that should be able to do react server side rendering.
  You can, for example, load an asset with react component and render it in the script.

  You can also send to jsreport just html and do the html rendering in your system.
  Or even send just an url to the hosted page.

  It is fully up to you and your imagination. :) jsreport shouldn't be the limitation.
