Got it, I was thinking about finding and replacing all the links with JavaScript app.launchURL() but it seems this wouldn't be easy (or even doable) from within the jsreport processing pipeline.

Just to close this, is there a way to add javascript to PDF file via JSReport?

thank you!

yes, thank you!

it appears to be a local issue with chrome, incognito mode works just fine

No errors, not in the jsreport console output nor in the Chrome's console, here is the debug output is I click debug:

We have a template with a link written like so

<a href="{{:#data.assetLink}}" target="new">REVIEW</a>

When PDF is generated the link would open in the same browser window as the PDF itself, replacing it. Is there a way to specify anything that would open link in a new browser's tab?
We are using wkhtmltopdf and JSReport 2.6.1

We are using JSReport version 2.6.1 and noticed that in the web app designer PDF previews rendered by wkhtmltopdf are not showing up.
It works on the latest version of Safari though.

thank you, would be nice to have a compatibility matrix available somewhere in the download and install section of the doc.

After installing the JSReport 2.x on ubuntu 16.04 and trying the sample report I receive the following error:

2020-03-04T19:21:52.911Z - error: Error when processing render request reporter.getAvailableRenderTimeout is not a function TypeError: reporter.getAvailableRenderTimeout is not a function
    at HtmlToPdf.conversion (/home/ubuntu/jsreportapp/node_modules/jsreport-wkhtmltopdf/lib/wkhtmltopdf.js:294:26)
    at /home/ubuntu/jsreportapp/node_modules/jsreport-wkhtmltopdf/lib/wkhtmltopdf.js:266:17
    at <anonymous>```

The wkhtmltopdf is of version 0.12.5
Whe jsreport starts it prints the following warning before the regular logging statements:

Warning: jsreport-cli version mismatch:
Global jsreport-cli is 2.2.1
Local jsreport-cli is 2.1.1

The problem is that it happens only in production and pretty intermittently but thank you for the suggestion.
By the way, to your knowledge did anyone complained about similar problem as well?

Unfortunately we still experiencing this issue with google charts not showing up in some renders of the same report.
How much likely that this will resolve if we migrate to JSReport 2.x and chrome-pdf ?

yep, in testing so far seems to be working as expected, thank you!

Thank you! I think the --window-status is already passed to the engine since it is one of the params that can be set in the designer so no need for the wkhtmltopdf.js change

What renderer would you suggest to use when we switch to JSReport 2.x?

We have a situation where from time to time the Google charts components are not rendered in the PDF.
The only reason I can think of is that Google charts JS code is not loaded in time for rendering.
There is a parameter javascriptdelay that can be set for wkhtmltopdf which we currently have set to 3000 but this is a very imprecise way of trying to address this issue.
Is there any way to truly wait for the JS to completely load?

Thank you, I think just replacing broken links with empty URLs should be fine in my case.

Is there a way to write a helper that would check if a particular link (image) would return 404 when requested? The wkhtmltopdf seems to be still broken even at the latest version.

Thank you, is there any way to pass additional flags to it from jsreport?

it happens on the image that cannot be retrieved. Seems to be an issue in the wkhtmltopdf, is there any way to try a newer version of it with JSReport 1.x?
