Web Server - Ask For Help / Printing Picture on PDF Report very SLOW a- any way to speed up the printing?
« Last post by rjolda on October 09, 2025, 07:07:59 AM »Hi,
Clarion C11
NT 14.36
I have a report which prints to PDF using Net Talk Extension to report procedure with SV PDF Generator.
When I do not include a picture on the report it is blazing fast.
When I DO include a picture on the report it bogs down and takes about 4 seconds.... but it does print correctly.
Picture is 3.4 Mb ( from phone camera). It is full color - however, I don't need to print color as most places will probably print b/w.
So any way to speed up the printing with the photo?
Should I use a different PDF generator??
I did some digging and PDF can be printed as an image and a few other things. However, I don't see any settings for PDF print.
Any insight or suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
Ron

Web Server - Ask For Help / Uploading a picture file from mobile device
« Last post by rjolda on October 04, 2025, 05:03:34 PM »Hi,
NT 14.31 and C11.0
I would like to give my customers the ability to take a photo on their mobile device ( not using webcam but using the mobile device camera which saves the picture to their device). I would then like to let them be able to select that picture file and upload it to the server. I apparently would need a Form. Will this work on a mobile device?
Any suggestions or help?
Thanks,
Ron

I kept digging as the checkboxes and radio options kept acting strange. Finnally got to the bottom of this. I found that I was sending a New Value to server on the CLient-Side. I ticked OFF all buttons for wWhen Field Selected in Browser. AND, I clicked OFF "Send new value to server". Now it is finally BEHAVING AS IT SHOULD!.

I unchecked the POPUP mode and it settled right down and acted correctly.
Interesting but that is what I found.

I have 10 line items that the user can select Yes/NO for each item. I changed the check boxes to Radio buttons YES and NO. I set FlexBox layout for the form with Floating Prompt:
On small screens the buttons are centered and each button Yes and No on their own line. I wanted them to be on the SAME line (horizontal spread) just like on large screens.
NT script:
@media screen and (max-width: 640px) {
.nt-radio-div-buttons-hor {
flex-direction: column;
}
}
It apparently does this to make sure that all Radio buttons will show.
So, what I did is for MY form container - inside my custom.css:
@media screen and (max-width: 640px) {
.nt-radio-div-buttons-hor {
flex-direction: row;
}
}
I override the normal small screen behavior and get the buttons on the same line - side by side.
Took a little searching and experimenting but now it works!

Thanks for the input. It may be css but I solved it by making the fields RADIO BUTTONs instead of checkboxes. The checkboxes were nice but I didn't want the customers to complain that the app was locking them into services that they didn't want by keping them checked "yes". The YES and NO buttons are not as slick but are clearer.
Thanks,
ROn

I was at the webinar today and I think you you should have show Bruce that your issue is only when you use a mobile browser size and not when you use the browser at desktop size, I think may be it has somthing to do with css.
Hope this helps

I think I have found the issue. It seems that there is a TOUCH that is getting implemented on the field and it just keeps the value at 1 ( checked ).
This is the line:
https://eppili.net/SetSessionValue?_touch_=1&_ajax_=1 Values: _touch_=1
_ajax_=1
THe normal response to touching the control should be something like this:
https://eppili.net/sm_updatej_srvreq_small_screen_jsrv__serv2request_value?_event_=257&value=0&_ajax_=1&_rnd_=0.9068946294296144
Sooo, I am trying to figure out how the "SetSessionValue?_touch_=1" arises or where it comes from as this seems to be gumming up the works. I couldn't find it in clarion code.
Anyone with insight?
Thanks,
Ron
