Lotus Notes Richtext Extract Image How To Print Them

You can format how to print them (also using CSS you can put a page break between each document).

All was going well until I found a niggly little bug thats scuppered my plans for a solution to one of the must-have features: a form that lets you print more than one document at a time.

On this document you have a print-friendly link, which opens the same document using a print-friendly form.

This new form has a WQO agent that loops each child document and copies the Rich Text Body field from each child to a Rich Text field called BodyPrint on the new form.

The problems is when the Body field contained an in-line image.

Whereas font-styling, tables and other bits remained the images were broken.

To do this I added some LotusScript in the WQO agent that wrapped each documents content in a with the ID set to that of the child document.

The JavaScript then replaced the parent doc ID in the images URL with the child doc ID.

I remember working on a web application myself where I was trying to allow users to append to its content.

The rich-text field was computed and as users added text to another field on the form I would keep appending to the end.

Every time the document was saved, the text in the rich-text field would get larger and larger.

Good luck.

I havent tried it myself, but it does seem like it might be a good solution to a nasty problem.

Would the WQO agent get a DXLImport handle on each child and import the rich-text content as XML.

I had something similar where employees could import a picture of themselves into their employee directory entry.

This worked fine in the client, but if you edit your entry through a browser and save it, the in-line image disappears.

Not much of a help, but might point someone in the right direction.

I have a db with a form that users would like to email around.

I have an option to email the document that copies the doc to the body using rendertortitem.

One solution I found (at LDD I think) for a printer friendly document was to put the following in a Print Preview button - basically just gets rid of Java when printed.

Instead of trying to point to the image displayed in the RTF, could it loop thru the elements in FILE Or, have the print page only be a rich text field (or very little else) and use the RenderToRTItem to take all the selected documents and render them for printing.

Heres another idea, albeit very hacky: How much control do you have over how the inline images are placed in the document If you build an image repository, then allow the users to select an image from the repository to paste in.

Very hacky, probably not realistic for what you need, but it would probably work -- Mike.

Dynamically resize IFRAMEs based on content size, although getting this to work is never fun.

Instead of copying the contents of the rich text fields into the new rich text field, you instead do this.
