PDFFormsPlugin

(plugins.pdf_forms)

Overview

The PDFFormsPlugin is a server plugin designed to handle PDF forms in the Servoy environment. It integrates with a Servoy server by registering a web service named pdf_forms through the PDFServlet. The plugin allows server-side operations to manage PDF templates, values, and actions stored in SQL tables.

The plugin provides configuration options via required properties. These include SERVER_NAME_PROPERTY, which specifies the server used to locate SQL tables, and TEMPLATE_LOCATION_PROPERTY, which defines the URL for retrieving PDF templates. Additionally, it allows customizable plugin properties, such as DISPLAY_NAME, set to "PDF Forms Plugin."

The plugin lifecycle is defined by methods like initialize() for setup, load() and unload() for resource management, and getProperties() for exposing its configuration details.
