Sorry, but I’m really not sure how that would be done and if there is an API to access them.

I’m not sure how to do this but it’s likely not directly supported. Check out the StyleManager source code to see what it is doing when you call loadStyle. Then maybe you can extend it to make it work in a PDF.

Sure! Either create your Flex app with a different locale or put other text in the PDF template.

Hi James,
Very Nice job !!! .

I have one question for you –
“Can we generate PDF in other languages like Japanese,Spanish etc.If yes,then would you please let me know the changes required to accomplish the same.”

It would be great if you can throw some light on it.Thanks in advance.

You should be seeing some error messages somewhere. Usually when something isn’t working, an error should have been logged somewhere.

Hi James,

I’ve noticed that, if I suppress the in web.xml, the aplication loads fine, but the pdf generation doesn’t works. Why the listener is not loading? Any idea?

Thanks

I’ve made the project again with the options:
-Application server type: J2EE
-Use remote acces service:
·LiveCycle Services ES

The result has been the same I reported you before.

The server config is like that:
-c:\lcds\tomcat\webapps\lcds\topdf\topdf.html –> is the path with the project
-The WEB-INF\web.xml contains the config you gave. And the WEB-INF/flex/(services-config/remoting-config).xml the same as you.
-The WEB-INF\src has the source with the java class (.java) in the path com\jamesward\portablerias\(PDFResourceServlet/PDFService).java
-The WEB-INF\classes contains the java classes com\jamesward\portablerias\(PDFResourceServlet/PDFService).class

Can you see anything wrong?

Thanks!

Noé
