If the Web View is set to display the navigation tool bar, this will present a print option on the tool bar.
Example:
Code: Select all
#Com_Owner.Set_WebView Name(PDFVIEWER) Layout_Col(1) Layout_Row(7) Url(#PDFFile) Show_Navigation(True)
Android devices cannot display .pdf files in a webview, but if a pdf viewer is installed they can download them and the file can then be displayed by the PDF viewer. See shipped RDMLX example LREX0056 (RPG example is EXAM0056) for a demonstration of handling PDF files on Android devices.

PDF is still not supported by Android webview, so Android users need to use PDF viewer to view PDF.

Is this something Lansa can enhance? This is a real downer for out customers with android devices signing documents (pdf's).

Sorry for the inconvenience. It's quite difficult to enhance the system webview to have PDF support. So a common way on Android system is to open pdf in another app.

we are signing legal documents. Because you can't make this happen on android (like iphone) we are forced to give customer message that it is not supporeted on android and sign a blank page ...
Can you enhance this to make it work?

Is the PDF document readable? If yes, probably you can try some third party services, like Google Docs api, to display an online PDF. It looks like
Code: Select all
http://drive.google.com/viewerng/viewer?embedded=true&url=YOUR PDF URL
Please do a research thoroughly see if there are any charges or usage limitations (like bandwidth limit). We make no guarantee for any issues related to 3rd party service.
Thanks
