PDFResource (useActiveForms)

shepo · November 30, 2021, 3:20pm

Hi, I wanted to make the PDF’s that I generate have a couple of editable fields… so you can put your own name in etc…

I have read that I need to include this

$mpdf->useActiveForms = true;

but do I add it in permissions or methods? and what syntax do I uses the plugin suggests a json array

thanks

It seems like useActiveForms is a property (member variable) of the class and not a method (nor a permission).

Maybe I’m missing something, but I think you have to change the code to make it work.

Maybe try adding this line

$this->pdf->useActiveForms = true;

somewhere here in the code

          $this->pdf->SetCreator($this->getOption('creator', $pdfOptions, $this->modx->getOption('site_url') . ' powered by PDFResource/mPDF'));

          $permissions = json_decode($this->getOption('permissions', $pdfOptions, ''), true);
          if ($userPassword || $ownerPassword) {
              // Set default permissions if needed
              $permissions = ($permissions) ? $permissions : array();
              // Random owner password if needed
              $ownerPassword = ($ownerPassword) ? $ownerPassword : null;
              $this->pdf->SetProtection($permissions, $userPassword, $ownerPassword, 128);
