forms and printing

forms and printing

[Uwe Koloska]

Hello,

is ist possible to use forms that can be filled out by the user and then 
printed?  Or is the only use to send the filled out form with the help of 
javascript to a webpage/script?

I have tried a simple example (thanks Lutz) and the uptodate 1.  All things 
that are inside a textline for example are not in the postscript output of 
the page ...

I have also tried to use the standard postscript fonts -- but no success.

but this will change as time goes by ;-)

Hi all!

I am having the same problem trying to make an envelope (the form is for
address). When I print the page, the forms comes empty.

Anyone has some hints?

option=printable  % or ={printable,blabla,moremore,...}

should do the trick, but this is a also viewer dependent. 

Next months i will start extending field / javascript support [eventually i
want to make a proper computer assisted learning environment],

You have to use this option with \setupfields or \setupfield
Here comes a minimal example:

\setupoutput[pdftex]
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\setupfields[reset]
\setupfields[][][][option=printable]
\setupfield[Textfeld][width=7cm,height=25pt]
\definefield[Name][line][Textfeld]
\starttext
Mein Test mit Forms

\field[Name]
\stoptext
