Rich Text Issue - URL link not working, displays as plain text

Report · Dec 03, 2020

Hi, Can anyone help if you have encountered this issue before.

Trying to update the document dynamically base on the data from DB.

Then on the JS - added a script to build the href String and load the xml again.

Tools - AEM Workbench - 6.5

AEM Designer 6.1

Adobe Acrobat -2020.013.20064

Found the script online.

ClearingHouseFto.page1.eSignatureForm.pgmDiscriminationDisplay::ready:form - (JavaScript, client)
// If this code is running on the server, you don't want it to run any code 
// that might force a relayout, or you could get stuck in an infinite loop
if (xfa.host.name != "XFAPresentationAgent") {
    // You would load the URL that you want into this variable, based on 
    // whatever XML data is being passed into your form
    var pgmDiscriminationDisplay= ClearingHouseFto.page1.eSignatureForm.pgmDiscriminationDisplay;
    var pgmDiscriminationDisplayLink = ClearingHouseFto.page1.eSignatureForm.pgmDiscriminationDisplayLink ;

    // URLs are encoded in XHTML.  In order to change the URL, you need 
    // to create the right XHTML string and push it into the Text object's 
    // <value> node. This is a super simple XHTML shell for this purpose.  
    // You could add all sorts of markup to make your hyperlink look pretty
    var sRichText = "<body><p><a href=\"" + pgmDiscriminationDisplayLink.rawValue + "\">pgmDiscriminationDisplay.rawValue</a></p></body>";

    // Assuming you have a text object called "Text1" on the form, this 
    // call will push the rich text into the node.  Note that this call        
    // will force a re-layout of the form
    
    this.resolveNode("pgmDiscriminationDisplay").value.exData.loadXML(sRichText.toXMLString(), false, true);
}
