Create a PDF with a trigger

[ptc-4742419]

Has anyone created a trigger that creates a PDF file? We are wanting to basically create the file and email to someone as an attachment.

David,

This is indeed possible. It is a little outside the pervew of support, but I can get you started.

There are two ways I can think of to do this. You can either push the data to a native interpreter (Such as ps2pdf or Pdftk) on your server, or you can use a third party Javascript library such as PDF24 or jsPDF. The trigger language is ECMA complient, so you should be able to import and plug in outside javascript tools.

Just a warning, however: Technical Support does not support third party tools.
