create a PDF faster??

[Der_V]

Hey,

I try out PDF-module in play! It's easy to install (with the info to
use eclipsify again, perhaps it should be in the documentary at the
play-homepage) and easy to use!
But there is a big BUT... It takes over a minute to create a PDF-doc
from only one little Template...Ok, there are some styles an grafics
in it... but I'm shocked, that it took soooo long.

Is there any better way to convert an play-Template into a pdf-doc or
a way to convert the template much faster??

I've got an other question. I used the method writePDF. The first
parameter ist the new File I want to create, but i didn't see the
possibilty to tell the class which template it has to use. It looks
after the default-Template (class/method). How can i tell the method,
which template it has to convert??

Thanks for the answers! :)

Hi,

I am due to release a new version, this issue has been fixed. In fact the lib
we are using is validating using a dtd that does not exist anymore at the w3c.org web site and thus time out...

Both renderPDF and writePDF follow the same convention as the usual
Controller methods.

class Application extends Controller {
public static showInvoice() {
renderPDF();
}
}

will look for app/views/Application/showInvoice.html (writePDF does
the same, except it takes an OutputStream or File as the first
parameter).

You can also provide an explicit name, e.g

writePDF(outputStream, "Application/myPdf.html");

will render app/views/Application/myPdf.html.


Hope this helps,
Rob
