Field Detail

imageNotFoundImage

@Deprecated
protected FormalParameter imageNotFoundImage

Deprecated.

This formal parameter is not used anymore. The PDF is now generated by the Intelligence Server.

Specifies the image used as a place holder when an image is not found. By default it is a red cross.
Allowed Values:
The value to indicate should be a valid image file name, with any necessary path information not included already on the resourcesFolderImage application configuration parameter.

Constructor Detail

PDFTransform

public PDFTransform()

Default empty constructor.
Initialize formal parameters.

Method Detail

initializeTransform

public void initializeTransform(Transformable data)

Extends initializeTransform by invoking checkDesignMode() and initializeProperties()

Specified by:

initializeTransform in interface AppTransform

Overrides:

initializeTransform in class AbstractAppTransform

Parameters:

data - the bean to transform.

transformForRequestProcessing

public void transformForRequestProcessing(MarkupOutput out)

Transform when the status is Processing.

Overrides:

transformForRequestProcessing in class AbstractAppTransform

Parameters:

out - output by this transform

Since:

MicroStrategy Web 8.0.0

See Also:

AbstractAppTransform.checkStatus(com.microstrategy.web.beans.MarkupOutput)

renderShell

public void renderShell(MarkupOutput out)

Description copied from class: AbstractAppTransform

Generates the shell for this Transform.

The shell is a <div> tag that automatically surrounds the content generated by the Transform. It's used among other things by the javascript to identify the HTML associated with a bone, and by the iFrame update technology to identify a component in the page.

The attributes to append to this <div> are obtained from the getAttributesShellDiv method; the style from the getStyleShellDiv method.
This method calls renderCssLink and checkStatus to generate the Transform's content.

Overrides:

renderShell in class AbstractAppTransform

Parameters:

out - output by this transform

Since:

MicroStrategy Web 8.0.0

transformForRequestSuccessful

public void transformForRequestSuccessful(MarkupOutput mo)

Transform when the status is "Successful".

Specified by:

transformForRequestSuccessful in class AbstractAppTransform

Parameters:

mo - output by this transform

See Also:

AbstractAppTransform.checkStatus(com.microstrategy.web.beans.MarkupOutput)

setContentDisposition

protected void setContentDisposition()

Sets the content Disposition Header as: "Content-Disposition: report.pdf"

transformForRequestInError

public void transformForRequestInError(MarkupOutput mo)

Description copied from class: AbstractAppTransform

Generates the output when the bean's status is EnumRequestStatus.WebBeanRequestEndsInError. This method just calls AbstractAppTransform.displayError(com.microstrategy.web.beans.MarkupOutput, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.Exception) with the title and message based on the error code from the bean's ErrorInfo, as provided by the the getErrorTitle and getErrorMessage methods accordingly.
Transforms that would like to generate customized output based on the error should extend this method.

Overrides:

transformForRequestInError in class AbstractAppTransform

Parameters:

mo - output by this transform

Since:

MicroStrategy Web 9.0.0

See Also:

AbstractAppTransform.checkStatus(com.microstrategy.web.beans.MarkupOutput)

getSupportedBeanType

public java.lang.Class getSupportedBeanType()

Returns the supported bean type. This transform supports the PDFBean

Specified by:

getSupportedBeanType in interface Transform

Overrides:

getSupportedBeanType in class AbstractAppTransform

Returns:

the class of the bean supported by this transform.

Since:

MicroStrategy Web 8.0.0

getDescription

public java.lang.String getDescription()

Return description for this Transform

Returns:

description for this Transform
