Generate a PDF with data from page in pagelists
Hi everyone,
I have a casetype with a pagelist property (.Customers) that contains another pagelist (.Documents).
So, for example:
| CaseType | Customers | Documents |
|---|---|---|
| AAA | Jhon | Doc1 |
| Doc2 | ||
| Mike | DocX | |
| DocY |
I want to create a PDF for each document: so, in this example, 4 PDF.
Furthermore, each PDF must contains data from .Documents Property (of class -Data-Document), for example .Documents(1).ID, .Documents(1).Date (and of course the same for .Documents(2)).
I have already seen the pxCreatePDF (class Work-) but I can't use it in my scenario (it works under class -Work, but not under class -Data... I Imagine because it attaches the PDF to the casetype).
Thanks so much,
Lorenzo

inside the loop call createpdf activity as Call Work-. pxCreatePDF and pass required param.

Hello,
the 2 required parameters of activity pxCreatePDF are
- name of the PDF (that’s okay)
- name of the section (used as “template” for the PDF). Can I use a section that is not defined under Work- class, but is under the class of the property .Documents (so “inside the loop”)?
If yes, I think mi doubt is solved: in this way I could have a PDF for each Document (for each Customer) with, inside PDF, data from the .Documents property.
thanks

I've just tried this solution. There is a problem:
the pxCreatePDF activity is executed but the when at step 2 (@lookup("pyAvailableForFile","Rule-Obj-AttachmentCategory","pyClassName",.pxObjClass,"pyCategoryName",Param.AttachmentCategory,"","","")) is evaluated false and then the activity ends (of course, I'm valuing the parameters SectionName, PDFName, AttachmentCategory).
I am also attaching the relative tracer piece
