Print Last Characters:
To print a specific number of characters from the end of a field, you can use the following FreeMarker expression in your Advanced PDF template:
${record.checknum?string[record.checknum?length-4..]}
In this expression, record.checknum is the field from which you want to extract characters. Adjust the number ‘4’ to your desired count to print a different number of characters from the end.
Print Starting Characters:
To print a specific number of characters from the beginning of a field, use the following FreeMarker expression:
${record.checknum?string[0..3]}
Here, the range [0..3] specifies the characters from index 0 to 3 (inclusive), representing the first four characters of the checknum field. Adjust the range as needed to print a different number of characters from the start.
Eg :
Suppose record.checknum contains the value “1234567890”. By using the provided expressions, you can print “7890” for the last four characters and “1234” for the first four characters, respectively.
