printing attachments

Postby wes.s.grayson » Tue Mar 27, 2012 10:49 pm

I have a table called Customers. One of the fields in the Customers table is called Attachments (media field that stores PDF files). Since there may be many attachments for each Customer, I created an Attachments table and link the two tables using a customer_id field.

I would like to print out all the attachments related to a particular Customer in one combined PDF file. I've used plugins.pdf_output.combinePDFDocuments() in a previous method to accomplish something similar, but in this case I'm not sure how that would work across multiple records of another table.

thanks!!

HI Wes,

just loop over the foundset, and combine them one by one...

pdf_blob_column = combinePDFDocuments(new Array(pdf_blob_column, other_pdf));

or create an array in the loop first, and than do one combine:

pdf_blob_column = combinePDFDocuments(new Array(pdf_blob1, pdf_blob2, pdf_blob3));
