How to display a PDF (FOP Control) in “PAGEPOPUP” mode? I have problems with POPUP blockers of browsers. Thank You. Geraldo Valencia ---

Hi Geraldo, in the current versions we added a switch “usepagepopup” to the cisconfig.xml, which advices the NJX framework to use page pop-ups for all NJX modal dialogs. But PDF documents are still opened in own browser windows. Showing documents automatically in page pop-up is something not all our NJX customers like. That’s why we did not include it in the “usepagepopup” switch for the NJX modal dialogs. The answer to your question: Currently there is no configuration setting to open PDFs of the FOP Control in page pop-ups. But your question made clear, that there is a need to avoid browser windows for documents. Best Regards, Christine ---

For those who would like to learn more about PDF support, here are some hints: NJX supports 2 ways to use PDF with Natural for AJAX: 1. REPORT control (see the Natural for AJAX documentation): That’s the way which requires more programming on the Natural side. You have to fill the report yourself at runtime. The njxdemos contain an example for this: Start the njxdemos and select Reporting/Report. 2. Adapter Listener (com.softwareag.cis.server.adapterlistener.PDFFOPListener) That’s the way which requires nearly no programming on the Natural side. You do the report design at design time: Create an PDF Print Form layout in Layout Painter. NJX812 contains an example for this. Since NJX812 is not available yet, please find attached a simple example to get started: Explanation: - The PDF\_FOP\_Demo.xml is a normal NATPAGE layout in which the Adapter Listener com.softwareag.cis.server.adapterlistener.PDFFOPListener is set. - PDF\_FOP\_Demo\_fop.xml is a PDF Print Form. It is bound to the NATPAGE via naming conventions: same name + “\_fop” - The texts in the print form are also directly bound to fields in the NATPAGE via naming convention: Search for example for “fromFirstName” in both layouts. How to run it: - Copy the 2 attached layouts - Do the Natural Adapter/html generation in the usual way - For PDF\_FOP\_Demo\_fop.xml no Natural Adapter will be generated because it is a PDF Print Form. - For PDF\_FOP\_Demo.xml an Natural Adapter PDF-8.NS8 will be generated - Generate a corresponding Natural Programm for PDF-8.NS8 in the usual way. - You do not have to write any code: Simply run your main program, enter some values and press the “Generate Invoice” button. ---

Hi David, in your post you simply copied the text from my earlier post [PDF/FOP with Natural For Ajax - Adabas-Natural - Software AG Tech Community & Forums](http://tech.forums.softwareag.com/techjforum/posts/list/22588.page) without adding any comments from your side. What was your intention? Was it to add a link to my earlier post? Or did you find a way to open FOP pages as PAGEPOPUPs? Best Regards, Christine ---
