Hi Ronald, it seems that there is a new restriction on the size of the images in the newer Jakarta version. They are stated here from what i have found: HR Document Templates

It basically states:

• The logo image to use in your header. The header image can be a maximum of 50px high. If your letterhead includes a logo and text, ensure that the logo image includes the text, as you can only configure the image in the header.
• The logo image to use in your footer, if applicable. The logo image can be a maximum of 15px high. You can configure both an image and text in the footer.

Also the way they accept images has changed from the previous versions. Take a look at the HR plugins example, but doing a direct image works better like:

this.headerImage = instance + "Print-logo-workorder.jpgx";

I ended up sending in the image like this:

 var headerId = gr.u_header.getDisplayValue() ? gr.u_header.getDisplayValue().substring(0, gr.u_header.getDisplayValue().indexOf('.iix')) : '';

 this.headerImage = this._getTemplateImage(headerId);

And the function invoked looked like this:

   _getTemplateImage: function(attachmentSysId){

// gs.addInfoMessage('Going to add image of ID= ' + attachmentSysId);

if(gs.nil(attachmentSysId))

return '';

var imageAttachment = new GlideRecord('sys_attachment');

imageAttachment.get(attachmentSysId);

var binaryData = new GlideSysAttachment().getBytes(imageAttachment);

var base64Image = GlideStringUtil.base64Encode(binaryData);

if (!gs.nil(base64Image))

return '<img src=\"data:image/png;base64,'+ base64Image +   '"/>';

else

gs.info('Issue found with getting the image');

return '';

},

For what I can see, HTML borders do work - but they do only with the tag attribute (<table border="1"...) and not with the CSS styling (<table style="border:1px solid black;"...)

Does anybody know how to add a page break / new page though? We are discussing the issue with SNsupport but nothing seems to work.

In Jakarta and Kingston, the best way to add a page break was to invoke a new function added in the GeneralPDF script include to add this functionality to the generator. Below is what i had to do, and will admit this was a customization to the OOB since i edited the GeneralPDF script includes.

In GeneralPDF i changed the addHTML function to look like this around line 290:

var objects = this.htmlWorker.parseToList(contentReader);


for ( var i = 0; i < objects.size(); i += 1) {

var element = objects.get(i);

if(element.toString() == "[{!Page_Break}]") {

//adding a new page if this element is found!

this.document.addNewPage();

} else {

this.document.add(element);

}

}

In my template i added a line like this in the necessary spot:

{!Page_Break}

I did that too (I think there's another post of yours that explains it, but no luck). We're on Istanbul, maybe that's the problem...but it does absolutely nothing, the document goes on as there wasn't anything.

thanks a lot

Dario

I was not able to get this to work until upgrading to Jakarta so I believe you are right in stating it does not work in Istanbul.
