[Xerte] Re: Toolkits - printing a certificate - how to?

[KnowledgeWare]

Hello Paul:

 

Thanks for this cert print suggestion, I have the print basically working,
but when it prints the top half of the 8.5 X 11 paper is solid dark grey
with the xerte page sitting in the upper left corner, about 1/6th of page
size.

 

I don't understand the AS 'bframe' bounding box concept.. Do you know if
there is a way I can make the xerte page print to the full 8.5 inch on the
page (or at least larger than it is now?).

 

Thanks

RonM2

One thing you could do is create a certificate on a page in Xerte, and
include a button or other interaction (such as an Event or timed response)
to print it. Attach a script icon with printAsBitmapNum(0, "bframe"); to the
print button. There are other print options, but printAsBitmapNum worked
best for my Desktop Xerte apps. I use that to allow students to print
whatever page they are on. If you aren't including anything with alpha
transparency, print() might work better than printAsBitmap() or
priintAsBitmapNum().
