Enabling PDF Rendering

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform supports a default PDF converter (using the Apache Formatting Objects Processor (FOP) Java application) that works on form and structure browser pages.

Enter your changes in the emxSystem.properties page object. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.

Configuring Properties
  1. Create or open the text file to contain customized properties. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
  2. To show the Render PDF icon in the menu, add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object:

    emxFramework.RenderPDF.ShowIconByDefault = true

  3. Developers: To override the default value above, pass the URL parameter renderPDF to emxForm.jsp or emxIndentedTable.jsp:

    • renderPDF=true: the Render PDF icon appears in the toolbar
    • renderPDF=false: the icon does not appear in the toolbar, whether the property emxFramework.RenderPDF.ShowIconByDefault is set to true or false.
