Phuc Nguyen 18 Generate PDF from newly created record
Hello All,
Hopeone someone can steer me in the right direction here. I am saving a record from a user entered VF page. What I need to do is generate a PDF of the newly created record and attach it to the record. I have a new VF page using (renderAs= PDF) and an Apex Class to grab the data to populate the VF but I need to make sure that the data has been saved first before generating the PDF. Also, how can I save it to the new record? Is there a better way to do do this or am I on the right track?
Thanks,
P

Hope you are doing well....!!!
You can use below code.
//*** Method to Create Contact public void createContact() { List<Contact> checkingContacts = new List<Contact>(); for(Contact objCon : lstcon) { if(objCon.Email!=NULL && objCon!=NULL ) { checkingContacts = [SELECT id, Name, Email FROM Contact WHERE Email =:objCon.email LIMIT 1]; } //system.debug('checkingContacts:::'+checkingContacts); //IF CONTACT IS NOT PRESENT IN SALESFORCE then insert. if((checkingContacts==NULL || checkingContacts.size()==0 || checkingContacts.isEmpty()) && CampaignId!=NULL) { try { insert objCon; //INSERTING FILES ContentVersion conVer = new ContentVersion(); conVer.ContentLocation = 'S'; // S specify this document is in SF, use E for external files conVer.PathOnClient = fname; // The files name, extension is very important here which will help the file in preview. conVer.Title = fname; // Display name of the files conVer.VersionData = EncodingUtil.base64Decode(fileBody.substringAfter(',')); // converting your binary string to Blog insert conVer; // First get the content document Id from ContentVersion Id conDoc = [SELECT ContentDocumentId FROM ContentVersion WHERE Id =:conVer.Id].ContentDocumentId; //Create ContentDocumentLink ContentDocumentLink cDe = new ContentDocumentLink(); cDe.ContentDocumentId = conDoc; cDe.LinkedEntityId = objCon.Id; // you can use objectId,GroupId etc cDe.ShareType = 'V'; // Inferred permission, checkout description of ContentDocumentLink object for more details cDe.Visibility = 'AllUsers'; insert cDe; //displayPopup = false; displayOuterPannel = true; ApexPages.AddMessage(new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.CONFIRM,'Contact Created Successfully.Thank you!')); } catch(DMLException e) { apexpages.addmessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.severity.ERROR,'Please enter valid data to create contact.')); } } } }Hope this solution helps you...!!Regards,

Thank you for the reply. How is the 'objCon.email' value obtained? If I need to get teh id of teh record from the record that was just created how can I do that? Am I appending the code below ' //INSERTING FILES' into my existing code? So if you recall I have a VF page that a user enters data and they save the record. I created another VF(PDF) and Class but was not sure how to tie it together. Do I need a seperate VF page to generate the PDF?
Thanks for your help and time.
Cheers,
