Hello,

Let's assume that the URL of your form is
http://your.domain/form.aspx

and it renders this HTML:
<form method="POST" action="/form.aspx">
  <input type="text" name="var1" value="default" />
  <input type="text" name="var2" value="default" />
  <input type="submit" value="Create PDF" />
</form>


Now, if you edit the form in the browser and then call our API with "http://your.domain/form" then the PDF will contain the default form values as there is no way how the API could know about the changes made in the browser.


The form.aspx handler should be implemented as follows. If it gets a GET request then it will render the form with the values specified in the URL. For example
http://your.domain/form.aspx?var1=value1&var2=value2

will render this:
<form method="POST" action="/form.aspx">
  <input type="text" name="var1" value="value1" />
  <input type="text" name="var2" value="value2" />
  <input type="submit" value="Create PDF" />
</form>


If it is a POST then it will construct the URL from the submitted form data and will pass this URL to the API:
client.convertURI("http://your.domain/form.aspx?var1=value1&var2=value2", outStream);


Hope this helps.

No. it cant help me.

I mentioned that i am not passing any value to web page, actually i am finding textbox through javascript on the page and filling the text box. the clicking the button available on web page , the some data produced on the web page including some bar graph.

Now I want to print the whole data( like printscreen ) to the pdf using your pdfcroud.

Hopes you understand the issue.

Unfortunately, Pdfcrowd is not able to handle what you are requesting for this page.
