Test print with watermark

Download and print a test PDF to verify that the rendered report contains the desired data and looks as expected in your layout.
The test print contains a watermark. The proof print contains a watermark. The final, "real" print will not have a watermark.
Either toggle ON the option Test print in the Ninox UI, or alternatively use a custom script and the functions printRecord or printAndSaveRecord.
Option A: without a custom script (Ninox UI)
Option A: Toggle ON Test print (1), then click Print  (2) to download a test PDF with a watermark
Using data from Example: invoice PDF, view the files below: a test print with a watermark and a final print without a watermark.

Option B: with a custom script
Works with printRecord and printAndSaveRecord.
printRecord(this, "templateLayoutName", data)
printAndSaveRecord(this, "templateLayoutName", data)
The data object can include the property _options with testPrint which overrides the default settings set by the print engine in the Ninox UI, i.e., if you previously toggled OFF Test print.
Example
1.Add a new layout element, here: a button.
2.Paste the script below in the formula editor.
3.Save changes.
4.Click or tap the button to run the script.
