Field
The <field> tag is very handy if you want to display content that looks like a field on a document. Each field needs to define a title. This is displayed according to the type chosen in type.
When a document is rendered "editable" fields also automatically display as editable content in the PDF viewer.
It can only be used within a <body>.
Example
<field title="The title of this field" type="line_above">
The value of the field
</field>Attributes
title
The title of the field. Must the give, but can also be provided as a child component, i.e. with
<field>
<title>TITLE</title>
<value>VALUE</value>
</field>class (optional)
The style class to define how the content looks like. If nothing is specified this is taken from the special class "field_content"
titleClass (optional)
The style class to define how the title looks like. If nothing is specified this is taken from the special class "field_title"
spaceAboveLine (optional) New in Atfinity 15
In fields that display a line, this is the space above the line (in pt, mm or cm)
spaceBelowLine (optional) New in Atfinity 15
In fields that display a line, this is the space below the line (in pt, mm or cm)
titleWidth (optional) New in Atfinity 15
In fields that display the title left of the value, this is the width of the title (in pt, mm or cm)
spaceBefore (optional)
Adds space (in pt, mm or cm) before the field
spaceAfter (optional)
Adds space (in pt, mm or cm) after the field
type (optional)
The main styling option of the field. Available types are line_below, line_right, line_above, bow_below and box_right. If nothing is specified the box_below type is used.
editable (optional)
This overwrites the automatic behaviour to display a field as editable. If you set editable="false" the field can never be edited. If you set it to editable="true" the field can always be edited, even when rendered in a normal PDF.
