Creating PDF templates
From OpenKM Documentation
You can create PDF template forms with several applications:
In order to make a relation between the template form field and the property group, you have to name them following a naming convention: replace ":" and "." by "_". Here you can see the matching between both fields:
PROPERTY GROUP NAME | TEMPLATE FIELD NAME |
---|---|
okp:tpl.name | okp_tpl_name |
okp:tpl.bird_date | okp_tpl_bird_date |
okp:tpl.language | okp_tpl_language |
To create a template in OpenOffice.org go to View > Toolbars > Form Controls. The a new dialog will appear and you will be able to add form elements to the document. This dialog contains form stuff such as Labels, Text Boxes, Check Boxes, etc.
Once the form has been created, go to File > Export as PDF to generate a PDF with these form fields. This is the final result:
Here you have the generated PDF file File:Tpl.pdf and this is the ODT source File:Tpl pdf.odt.
