How to pass file content(Base64) from JavaScript to ClipBoard
I have file content inBase64 String in javascript into the i-frame. I need to pass this value to ClipBoard in Pega.
how we can pass the content of scan documents (Base64) String to the clipboard in Pega?
I have tried serveral alternatives as follow:
- JSP notation (<%=tools.getPrimaryPage().getProperty("FileBase64").setValue("value")%> )
- It don´t runs because the syntax don´t allow add the "value" as a JavaScript parameter.
- Get method (pega.util.Connect.asyncRequest('GET', bSafeURL.toURL(),'');)
- This option works but only for short strings, Base64 value is too long and it is not supported.
- Using Get OST method . When trying to send the string by this method it does not recognize it.(pega.util.Connect.asyncRequest('POST, bSafeURL.toURL(),'');)
- It has the same problem than Get Method.
- Can I configure an activity? How can I pass parameters to the activity from JavaScript to Pega?
Thanks in advance.

@GilbertoA - Hi Gilberto - I ran into the same issue with the length of the string when I started looking into this question. I have a workaround that isn't really pretty (no es bonita!), but I think it will get the job done.
This workaround involves using a hidden field to store the value of the Base64 encoded string, then uses the action set on the hidden field to post the value to the clipboard. I've attached a document with step-by-step configuration instructions. I hope it helps!
