In my project we are using dojo framework in UI. We are having a functionality to exporting the data in the enhanced grid into excel/csv files. In the dojo toolkit, they are binding the id in the textarea but i need those values in the excel/csv file...can any one help in this issue...? if possible pls tell me how to export the enhanced grid data to excel/csv files...
If you are already using the Enhanced Data Grid, you should be able to include the exporter plugin - dojox.grid.enhanced.plugins.exporter.CSVWriter - to get the CSV text.
This will give you access to two main functions exportGrid and exportSelected that will take the contents and export them as CSV text.
Unfortunately that doesn't get them as a separate file (click to download), just the formatted text in a textarea (or whatever).
To get a "click to download CSV function), you could write a servlet/jsp proxy, which would take a POST from your page with the CSV text (from the plugin above) as part of the form and simply copy it back out with the correct headers to make it appear as an attachment.
response.setContentType("text/csv"); response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attatchment;filename=name.csv")
This would require something server side though.. and at that point, you may want to consider having a servlet simply produce the CSV text directly.

I would like to add header content to Material-UI's DataGrid Export to CSV feature. The Export to CSV only exports the contents of the table, but I'm working on a project where the client needs attribution and metadata added to the csv contents. By header content I mean additional string content that is not part of the table data. The content I am looking to add is basic string data and would likely only amount to a few lines.
I'm also open to using the paid XGrid version if that would allow for this.
Any thoughts or ideas for how to achieve this would be appreciated!
The API method getDataAsCSV() allows you to get the CSV as a string. Then, you can replace the Export CSV Button with a custom one which will call getDataAsCSV(), add the metadata to the string and save it.
If you think this is a good-to-have feature, you can open an issue to add metadata as an argument of CsvExportOptions.
I am using Jasper soft 6.3.1 and Jasperserver 6.3.0.
I am generating a report book using Jasper.
When I export report book into .docx report, this word file contains grid. Its not like normal document.
How I can download docx like normal ms word document?
Is there any alternative?
Do I need to go for Aspose.com solution, if yes, then how ?
Jasper will always export an docx-output in a table/grid structure. Unfortunately there is no other way.
You can achieve your requirements using Aspose.Words for JasperReports. The output document will be according to the elements of your report. Please read the documentation of Aspose.Words for JasperReports. I work with Aspose as Developer evangelist.
Yes, you will need to use a 3rd party library to achieve this. Aspose.Words or any other similar library would do the trick but I strongly suggest that you first take a look at this library that allows you to create a template in MS Word, with all the necessary formatting and placehoders for the data. At runtime this template is filled with data. You can then choose the output format in .docx, .pdf or .xps format.
// Instancing report engine, by assigning the data source
DocumentGenerator dg = new DocumentGenerator(DataAccess.GetOrderById(7));
// Generating report by specifying the report template and the resulting report (as file paths)
dg.GenerateDocument("example.docx", "example_output.docx");
When I try to using
pdftk my.pdf dump_data_fields >result.txt
have empty data result
Your file my.pdf may not be compatible with pdftk. Convert the file first using the following command:
>pdftk my.pdf output my_converted.pdf
Then try,
>pdftk my_converted.pdf dump_data_fields > result.txt
I've taken this from the following http://www.fpdf.org/en/script/script93.php where the converting process is suggested when the fields won't write to the pdf file so converting before dumping the fields may not help.
If your pdf has fields you it should be fillable in your pdf viewer. If in isn't fillable then it would seem that it has no fields.
This is most likely because the pdf you are using doesn't have any data fields to dump! Use a tool like Adobe Acrobat to open the pdf, go to wherever you need to to Edit Fields, and add fields anywhere you need them to show up. Make sure they are named so you can utilize them by using the attributes[] call in pdftk.
I recommend using snake case (i.e. text box named 'first_name') and then you should have access to it using attributes[:first_name] = 'your text'.
Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions/issues.
For word report generation, I am looking at binding XML to content controls to see if it is any easier than to use Word Interop and hardcode index reference to content controls to assign values to them.
However, I don't really understand how to do it.
My work flow is entering information in Excel and then generate an XML file to have content controls populated by XML, however, what I read is the other way round: Word Control Control Toolkit and descriptions where the XML is populated by user entering information in Word, and then programmer to unzip docx file to retrieve the XML file.
How can I populate content controls with XML?
There are samples on generating Word documents from Word templates, XML and data bound content controls # http://worddocgenerator.codeplex.com/
Set up the mapped content controls in the 'template' docx using the content control toolkit or similar. Do this using a sample XML file containing your Excel data.
Now you have that template document, at run time you can inject your XML file into it (ie replace the custom xml part it contains, with your instance data), in C# or Java or whatever.
When the user opens the document in Word 2007/2010, the information in the custom XML part will automatically be copied into the bound controls, and visible to the user.
Note that content control data binding doesn't easily support repeating data (eg populating table rows) in Word 2007/2010, though there are ways to do it.
I have written C# code to save product specifications to a PDF document using iTextSharp, mainly with PdfPTable and Chunks/Paragraphs in the PdfPCells. However, I have been told that the output is unacceptable due to the fact that you can highlight and copy the text from the document and document storage and retrieval server software that they are currently using does not support "Vector" based PDFs. I'm not exactly certain what the difference is between a raster pdf and and vector pdf. Basically, every page of the PDF Document should be an image so that the text can not be highlighted. Is there any way to do this without using the DirectContent? Below is an image, illustrating a portion of the PDF that was created, and how the text can be selected and copied, which is the incorrect functionality.
I would like to avoid directly writing to the canvas, unless there is a way to do this and still have itextsharp handle my formatting and proper paging.
The windows application PDF2R works well, but doesn't seem to offer any programmatic solutions. I have found libraries that stated that they do this sort of conversion, but are several thousand dollars. I'd like to work within my budget and use the itextsharp or something much cheaper than this.
I would suggest you try to generate an image using the System.Drawing class and then insert that into the PDF document.
Call this code on your PdfWriter object:
writer.SetEncryption(PdfWriter.STRENGTH40BITS, null, null, PdfWriter.AllowPrinting);
This won't prevent users from selecting text, but it will prevent them from copying and pasting it. Give it a try.
