Forum Discussion
Hello,
Could you clarify what kind of data you're trying to export as a PDF? If this is just Form data or a small amount of relationship grid data, you might be able to get away with just using the standard JavaScript print() function. Your users can then choose to print the data to a PDF. Also, could you clarify what error you're getting when trying to use that Office DLL? Have you followed the steps from this blog post to link an external DLL to your Aras Innovator instance?
Alternatively, depending on what kind of data you're trying to export, an Aras subscription will allow you to use the Conversion Server which supports exports to PDFs for some kinds of documents. You can email [email protected] to learn more about signing up for an Aras subscription.
To answer your last question, the easiest way to add an item to the context menu of the relationship grid is to add an Action onto the related ItemType or the Relationship ItemType.
