Question

Method to include sortable table in pdf output from Frame?

It's late, and I am not sure what the proper way to phrase this is 🙂

I need to create a document that includes a table containing device types, their support for features 'A' and 'B', and the regions in which they can be used.

I can create a simple table to hold that info, but ... is there a way that a table can be created (or imported, e.g. as an excel spreadsheet or some other file type) that can be dynamically sorted in the pdf output? For example, some users will want to sort on device type (to compare devices from the same product family), others on region (to see which devices can be used in different countries), or function support (A, B, both, or none).

Thanks either way 🙂

    Conditional text with html5 output using dynamic filtering would let you do that
