Set Conversion Triggering Mode

In this demo you learn about the conversion triggering modes. There are two conversion triggering modes: Auto and Manual.

In the sample script we provide, a ticks counter is incremented each 30 ms after the document was loaded.

When the triggering mode is set to manual and the the ticks count reached exactly 100 the hiqPdfConverter_startConversion() is called.

When the triggering mode is Auto the conversion will start immediately after the wait time expired.

HTML Code

<html>
<head>
    <title>Conversion Triggering Mode</title>
</head>
<body>
    <br />
    <br />
    <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt">
        When the triggering mode is 'Manual' the conversion is triggered by the call to <b>hiqPdfConverter_startConversion()</b>
        from JavaScript.<br />
        In this example document the hiqPdfConverter_startConversion() method is called when the ticks count
        reached 100 which happens in about 3 seconds.
    </span>
    <br />
    <br />
    <b>Ticks Count:</b> <span style="color: Red" id="ticks">0</span>
    <br />
    <br />
    
    <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt">
        HiQPdf Info:
        <script type="text/javascript">
            // check if the document is loaded in HiQPdf HTML to PDF Converter
            if (typeof hiqPdfInfo == "undefined") {
                // hiqPdfInfo object is not defined and the document is loaded in a browser
                document.write("Not in HiQPdf");
            }
            else {
                // hiqPdfInfo object is defined and the document is loaded in converter
                document.write(hiqPdfInfo.Version);
            }
        </script>
    </span>
    <br />
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var ticks = 0;
        function tick() {

            var ticksElement = document.getElementById("ticks");

            ticksElement.innerHTML = ticks;
            if (typeof hiqPdfConverter_startConversion == 'function' && ticks == 100) {
                // trigger conversion
                ticksElement.style.color = "green";
                hiqPdfConverter_startConversion();
            }
            else {
                // wait one more tick
                setTimeout("tick()", 30);
            }
        }

        tick();
