When trying a batch download (through REDCap reports), there will be an error in following scenario:

• Many records in batch (n>400)

I´m trying to download the EM via the REDCap Repo since the last week but when I clic on download, it shows and alert saying "An error occurred because the External Module could not be found."
Not sure if you can fix it or REDCap Staff does.

Thank you anyway!

Can't seem to get the checkbox or radio button to work. Also, tried and followed the instruction to use the True/False field type and still doesn't work. Not sure if this is supported? Many thanks.

Integrate user rights and data access groups

Add z-index.

Really nice work and appreciate the effort on this.
We would love to use this as currently we rely on another EM called 'Custom Template Engine'

It works OK but has problems with the layout at time and depends on the file system preventing the use of load balancing web servers.

The only slight drawback with this EM is the dependency on having to upload to the pdfk public website - I wonder if it's possible to make an on premise version of this web service somehow?

Cheers,

John

Since Version 14.0.0 (released on 2023-11-30) there are multiple redcap_data tables. Use REDCap::getDataTable($pid) to retrieve correct one.

Some of the test cases do not work when REDCap Authentication is enabled.

To be tested and fixed.

It'd be great to be able to specify a form upload field within the project per injection. Then, add a record save hook that would perform the injection, ideally merge/flatten the file, then upload the resulting PDF to the field on the record. This would make the PDF available immediately on a form or even a survey page without clicking through the injection screens.

A particular use-case would be a legal or medical survey where the anonymous end-user would complete details in a traditional REDCap survey, during which it would automatically fill fields on associated "paper" documents that need to be stored with the survey. Both the end-user and REDCap operators would have access to the same file as it was recorded at the time of the survey.

Hi,
I have created a fillable pdf on the server sejda.com, then I used pdftk and the final version of the document I uploaded through the module. After upload there are no fields for filling but they were created in the document.
Thanks in advance.

Add a feature that supports adding injections to forms/surveys.
This could be implemented through a custom Action Tag.
Important would be to validate that all required fields for the injection are available and accessible.

The download could be hooked into the same method that currently fills PDF documents.

@tertek, specifically the PAGE === "ExternalModules/index.php" check does not work as expected. I'm scheming the best recommendation to fix this... I wonder if updating the $module->isPage() method as follows is the most intuitive:

isPage([$path]) | 9.7.6 | Prior to framework version 14, $path is required and true is returned if the current page matches a path under the REDCap directory (e.g. Design/online_designer.php). For framework version 14 and later, $path is optional. If specified, true is also returned if $path matches the name/path for a module page (e.g. some-module-page). If $path is not specified, true is returned if any page for the current module is being displayed.

What do you think? Do have have any alternative ideas?

Oi Ekin =)

When clicking "Reset" on Report page, the DOM area where PDFI Button is embedded will be reloaded, without restarting ObjectObserver. No Button will be embedded.

Solution: Bind to "Reset" event an restart ObjectObserver.

On PHP8 PDF Injector will throw the following error when accessing the module page, if:

• module settings have been imported
• module settings include injections with reference to documents

Possible problem:
The documents are not ported during export, having an non-existing $path. This why the function file_get_contents($path) call at line 828 throws above error.

Suggestion to fix:
Check if $path is true:

if($path) {
            $type = pathinfo($path, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
            $data = file_get_contents($path);
    
            return 'data:image/' . $type . ';base64,' . base64_encode($data);   
}

If logged out from a record home page, the dropdown button remains in the log in page.

To decrease amount of needed @CALCTEXT annotations for multiple-choice fields this feature could increase UX:

During PDF Injection Render:

1. Detect field type
2. per type switch case:

radio_button: fetch label for value
checkbox: fetch label for value
default: return value

3. continue

Would be nice that after importing the pdf, the "redcap filed" will automatically fulfilled with the "pdf field". It can still be adjusted in case of corrections.

when User clicks browse in file input then modal closes and error is thrown in js console:

Find ways to reduce memory needed.
Add try catch block to notify user about memory_limit exception!

DataExport::buildReportDynamicFilterLogic()
DataExport::doReport()

could you do the same for time-validated variables? Otherwise the result will be as in the image

Currently only first checkbox value will be rendered. Add support to output multiple comma-separated values.

Hi Tertek,

Thank you for this module. They are very helpful. Was wondering if this module accepts longitudinal data? I plan to map the fields to multiple events. Example [event_1][name] on document 1 and [event_2][name] on document 2. Doesn't seem like I'm able to do that. Let me know if you have a way to do that.

Cheers,

Brian

Detect field validation for date fields and render during injection accordingly.
Current state: field validation is handled client-side, so that the injected value is always a default format from the database.

Any chance the changes for this module can be pushed into the REDCap Repo version? We would love to use this module but cannot currently due to the version we are on. Thanks!
