Save PDF online

Docs
1

I noticed in earlier versions the new(ish) PDF editor does not allow saving in the online editor (only save a copy).

Is there a plan to implement saving in the same structure as other editors (sheets, presentations, etc)? I’m currently running 8.11

In the meantime, is there perhaps a way to suppress the save copy message and run my own JavaScript to capture the save event and then run my own logic by creating a copy of the file myself and saving it through my own integration?

save

Many thanks for any help / advice!

Hello @paulf

Saving PDF to storage will be implemented in 8.2.

I’m afraid not. Sorry for inconvenience.

Thanks Constantine!

I know you probably can’t give me an answer, but for my own roadmap, is there an estimate as to when 8.2 will be released?

Thanks again!

Approximately by the end of October of this year. Anyway, I will notify once new version is available.

Hello again @paulf

In new version of Document Server we have enhanced possibilities of saving PDF files back to storage. Also, collaborative mode was implemented to PDF editing.

Please update your instance and share your thoughts.

Hi Constantine,

Thanks for coming back with this - I was watching the Webinar today actually!

Unfortunately I can’t seem to upgrade (ubuntu):

Probably worth pointing out, the original Postgres database / host / user / pass hasn’t been changed at all.

I simply ran the bash script from http://download.onlyoffice.com/docs/docs-install.sh (not using Docker)

I managed to get this working in the end.

First time around, the script asked me if I wanted to update default.json to the new version.

When I did, it broke (the database access message you see above, even after I enter the correct host, name, password, etc)

So this then I tried to keep my existing default.json which allowed me to complete the upgrade.

However, as you can imagine, the old default.json didn’t work as it omitted many of the new requirements for 8.2

So at this point, I replaced with the new version of default.json (after the install completed), suddenly everything works fine!

My guess (and it’s only a guess), is the install script somehow ignores and connection strings in local.json and therefore only uses whatever is hardcoded in the package’s default.json causing the postgres connection issue.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your feedback. I’m glad to know that you’ve found solution. I’m closing this topic as solved in such case.
