Additional PDF Template Variables

It would be nice if additional template variables where available, the only two: pageNum & totalPages are not enough.

Consider Time of Day & Filename at a minimum.

Hi, Karl,

Do you think we should still keep this feature request or did you find it easy enough to use this approach?

Kind Regards,

Yes, your example works.  I am able to get the filename in the header, and date in the footer.

Thanks.

Hi, Karl,

It is possible to add other variables to the template at present using the Kendo UI Templates' syntax, e.g:

<script>
    var fileName = "Test";
</script>

<script type="x/kendo-template" id="page-template">
    <div class="page-template">
      <div class="header">
      #:kendo.toString(new Date(), "d")# - File name #: fileName #
        <div style="float: right">Page #: pageNum # of #: totalPages #</div>
      </div>
      <div class="watermark">KENDO UI</div>
      <div class="footer">
        Page #: pageNum # of #: totalPages #
      </div>
      </div>
    </script>

With the right styling, the output is as expected:


Could you let us know if this approach works for you and if there is something else we need to consider?
