Printing with Custom Text Elements

[JustinGreco]

Are custom text elements not supported in the JavaScript API yet when using the 10.1 print service?  I do not see it as a property for layoutOptions for the PrintTemplate class.

Are there any ESRI samples that show how to use Custom Text Elements to print out information of a selected record on the custom print template?

in templates parameter you can do it :

{
        label: "PDF A4",
  format: "PDF",
  layout: "myLayout",
  layoutOptions: {
           legendLayers:[legendLayer],
   customTextElements : [
    {myTest: "My text !"}
       ]
   },
   exportOptions: {
        dpi: 96
     }
  }

In order to get your code to work, would I need to have dynamic text in my PDF A4 map template that had the name myTest so the web app would recognize the dynamic text I am passing from the Javascript app to the selected map template of the custom print service?

Yes. The Element Name will make the link. ( sorry for my english, i'm french)

Enguerrand:

Your code above is slightly different from an ESRI sample that seems to have been created for v10.1.


The ESRI sample is shown below:
{
            name: "Letter ANSI A Portrait",
            label: "Portrait (Image)",
            format: "jpg",
            options:  {
              legendLayers: [],
              scaleBarUnit: "Miles",
              titleText: printTitle + ", Portrait JPG"
            }

Has the syntax for options changed between 10.1 and 10.2 where layoutOptions are now specified just as options?  It seems to me that both options and layoutOptions are referring to the same objects.

i have used this sample :
https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/jssamples/widget_print_esri_request.html

And the API says that is layoutOptions :
