How to fix the errors?

jan_blaha

This isn't valid jsrender syntax. {{{pdfAddPageItem :ClientName}}}.
We have couple of jsrender examples in our docs
https://jsreport.net/learn/pdf-utils

Particularly this one should help
https://playground.jsreport.net/w/admin/LHIiC3D8

{{:~pdfAddPageItem(1)}}

Or switch to handlebars which is a bit covered in the demos and exmaples.

@jan_blaha can you let me know how can I pass a value?
Instead of just passing a number here?
