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 applied it according to https://sugarclub.sugarcrm.com/dev-club/b/dev-blog/posts/how-to-customize-the-sugar-pdf-manager but if I add assigned variable in PDF Manager then getting 500 internal error. Let me know if there are any issue in my code.

My code in PDF Manager:

{if isset($po_purchase_order_ori_order_request_item_1item) and $po_purchase_order_ori_order_request_item_1item|@count gt 0}

<table style="width: 100%;" border="0">

<tbody>

<tr>

<td><strong>Name</strong></td>

<td>Email</td>

<td>Phone</td>

</tr>

 {foreach from=$po_purchase_order_ori_order_request_item_1 item="contact"} 

<tr>

<td>{$contact.name}</td>

<td>Email {$contact.email1}</td>

<td>{$contact.status}</td>

</tr>

  {/foreach} </tbody>

</table>

{/if}

Thanks

You have a couple of mistakes in your smarty:

first the foreach statements need to be inside html comments

<!-- {foreach from=$po_purchase_order_ori_order_request_item_1 item="contact"} -->

and

<!-- {/foreach} -->

Second, it looks like you are pulling items from a PO so they are probably not "contacts"

which means that these fields are probably incorrect:

<td>{$contact.name}</td>

<td>Email {$contact.email1}</td>

<td>{$contact.status}</td>

Your code will most likely look more something like:

 <!-- {foreach from=$po_purchase_order_ori_order_request_item_1 item="item"} -->

<tr>

<td>{$item.name}</td>

...some other fields here like quantity, etc.

</tr>

 <!-- {/foreach} --> </tbody>
