print form

I know there are some solutions how to print from Skybow forms, but they work only as "print Screen" and not as print form (or not complete form, only what is on a screen).

I noticed that if you right click on form and select "print preview" it creates a mess, but if you right click on form and select "Print" it prints form exactly as it should!!!

Any idea how to create a button with this option?

    Hi Tadej,

    there is a javascript function for Print command (same as press CTRL+P): window.print()

    You can place this on a button on your form.

    In the following example I added a short delay to prevent having the Working on it... message on print preview:

    setTimeout(function (){
      window.print();
    }, 1000);

    Thank you Christof, it works as I wanted.

    Is it possible to automaticaly select printer (Microsoft Print to PDF) and name (from field) with script ?

     

    Best regards,

    hi Tadej

    this is not possible to configure on a web page.

    the Default Printer you defined on your device is selected automatically - and setting file name is technically afar in step after printing and not accessible

    Hi Christof

    Do you by chance have a similar script that can work with modern Forms? :-)

    When I try window.print() I just get a screenshot of a blank page with an uncustomized SharePoint form on the right. Is there any way to create a printed form that somehow works with the customized layout, which might include columns, tabs containing content, and sublists? Customers have asked for this a number of times, as they try to replace printed forms. They need something they can save as a PDF.

    Thanks!

    hi SandyLT,

    window.print() works as well for webpages with modern forms. See print preview below:

    Maybe it's a browser related issue. I used Edge Chromium in this case and it worked. Had only to adjust de Scale a bit to get a all content on one page.

    However it's still just a webpage print - for better customized reports we suggest to use Document Generator (feature in Solution Studio)

    Thanks, Christof

    Yes, I was able to get that far, but found as you said, that's it's only a webpage print.

    I think it would be necessary to use the Generate Document action, yes, to capture data within form tabs etc into a Word template. Could it be possible from a development standpoint to add that action to the Modern Forms standalone solution? (i.e. for use also outside of the full Solution Studio)

    Thanks!

    Hi SandyLT

    It's not possible to integrate Document Generation action into the Modern Forms standalone Add-In since Document Generation is another independent feature - as well separately licensed in Solution Studio.
