How to create a custom PDF of a record view data

PDF Manager handles adding the item in the menu when there is a published PDF for that module.

As for adding data from related records you will need to do some customizations.

Hello Francesca Shiekh,

I have tried it but getting the error:

TCPDF ERROR: The class SugarpdfSmarty has to be extended and you have to set a location for the Smarty template.

My code is:

<?php

require_once 'include/Sugarpdf/sugarpdf/sugarpdf.pdfmanager.php';

class PO_Purchase_OrderSugarpdfPdfmanager extends SugarpdfPdfmanager

{

public function preDisplay()

{

$GLOBALS['log']->fatal("pdf bean->name ".$this->bean->name);
parent::preDisplay();

$previewMode = false;

if (!empty($_REQUEST['pdf_preview']) && $_REQUEST['pdf_preview'] == 1) {

$previewMode = true;

}

if ($previewMode === false) {

// Select links to add

$linksToLoad = array('po_purchase_order_ori_order_request_item_1', 'po_purchase_order_poi_purchase_order_item_1');

foreach ($linksToLoad as $linkName) {

// @var PO_Purchase_Order $this->bean

$this->bean->load_relationship($linkName);

$linkedBeans = $this->bean->$linkName->getBeans();

// Prepare data

$linkedData = array();

foreach ($linkedBeans as $linkedBean) {

$linkedData[] = PdfManagerHelper::parseBeanFields($linkedBean, true);

}

// Assign data to template

$this->ss->assign($linkName, $linkedData);

}

}

}

}
