Creating PDF from a Flex DataGrid

Does anyone have code/component to create a PDF from a Flex Data Grid?

-I know you can take a image shot and pass that to the XFAHelper but that would only show one page. -We created a PDF Template with a table and we can bind in the rows into table as XML – this works well IF you know the column names and widths up front.

We have a dynamic data grid that the user can add in new columns and rearrange/resize columns at will. How do we get this dynamic data grid to present in a “Paged” PDF.

Thanks for your help,

Anthony

    Has no one needed to do this?

    Has anyone tried printing a data grid with IText?

    There is a sample for doing this in LC DS and BlazeDS. Source code is included.

    There are also methods available such as getDataGridTitle()

    Hi I have done it once using livecycle ES on the backend. If that is what you want, I think I can write up a simple process and send it to you thanks girish

    Duane,

    Can you tell me what sample you are looking at?

    http://localhost:8400/lcds-samples/pdfgen/index.html only takes a screen shot as far as I can tell + the columns are know but ours are dynamic. var snapshot:ImageSnapshot = ImageSnapshot.captureImage (balanceSheet); balanceSheetImage = ImageSnapshot.encodeImageAsBase64 (snapshot);

    snapshot = ImageSnapshot.captureImage(earnings); earningsImage = ImageSnapshot.encodeImageAsBase64 (snapshot);

    Thanks for your help,

    Anthony
