Frequently asked question
It is possible to print customTextElement by using the PrintTemplate() method in ArcGIS API for JavaScript. The customTextElement parameter is an array of name-value pairs required if a user wants to update text of a TextElement, which is not a DynamicText on the page layout. The values of customTextElement must be of type string.
The following code snippet describes how to print customTextElement using JavaScript:
var plate = new PrintTemplate(); plate.layout = plate.label = ch; plate.format = "PDF"; plate.layoutOptions = { "authorText": "Made by: Esri's JS API Team", "copyrightText": "<copyright info here>", "legendLayers": [], "titleText": "Pool Permits", "scalebarUnit": "Miles", "customTextElement": [{"<textElementName1>" : "<value1>"}] };
