Change author of PDF before print model generation

Engines Print Engine
1

Hello. We in <PROJECT_NAME> model our print-model through an editor. During that modeling process the author is not known and therefore set to “NONE”. We then use the modeled print model in our runtime environment to generate pdfs. The user that generates the pdf should be the author of the pdf. We would like to change the author from “NONE” to the user printing. Is that possible? If so how? We have the PrintModel id and docRef at time of generation.

We use version 1.0.1 of the print-engine-api.

hi @nick-linked-tensor, just for clarification: do you have the PrintModelId id or do you have a String id of your print model?
If its the String id, I guess you can simply can overwrite your printJobManagerApi configuration and customize the behaviour of the loadPrintModel method.

If you already have a PrintModelId id and therefore already utilized the prepare method of the print job manager I can not provide you an answer yet and will forward internally.

Hi @markus-agile-fog, my previous answer was irrelevant to the question. We seem to use

return genericModelReadRepository.readModel(modelId).getContent().getRawContent();

to load the print model through the model name and then pass the result of this to prepare. I am guessing this should make the first part of your answer viable for us?

thanks for the details :slightly_smiling_face:

that’s correct, you should be good to go with model loading customization then.

Ok thank you :smiley: I will give it a try and resolve this thread as soon as I am done.
