Pass Record id on Iframe Visualforce - Urgent

Hello

 

I have a Visualforce page embedded in an iframe into another visualforce page (see below), the iframed page is a PDF.

When I click the custom button, the fields in the PDF are empty, but when I save the PDF into "Notes & Attachments", the PDF is populated with the information from the record...

I know that I need to pass variable from the parent, but what needs to be done? 

 

Custom Button: /apex/PdfGeneratorTemplate?id={!Monthly_Cloud_Bill__c.Id}

 

Class:

 

public with sharing class PdfGeneratorController {


  String parentId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id');


  Monthly_Cloud_Bill__c MCB = [SELECT Account__r.Id, Account__r.Name from Monthly_Cloud_Bill__c WHERE Id = :parentId];
  Account acc = MCB.Account__r;
  String AccountName = acc.Name;
  String AccountId = acc.Id;
  
   
 public PageReference savePdf() {
 
    //PageReference pdf = Page.PdfGeneratorTemplate;
    PageReference pdf = Page.InvoicePDF2;
    // add parent id to the parameters for standardcontroller
    pdf.getParameters().put('id',parentId);
 
    // create the new attachment
  Attachment attach = new Attachment();
 
    // the contents of the attachment from the pdf
    Blob body;
 
    try {
 
        // returns the output of the page as a PDF
        body = pdf.getContent();
 
    // need to pass unit test -- current bug    
    } catch (VisualforceException e) {
        body = Blob.valueOf('Some Text');
    }
 
    attach.Body = body;
    // add the user entered name
    attach.Name = AccountName + '.pdf';  
    attach.IsPrivate = false;
    // attach the pdf to the account
    attach.ParentId = parentId;
    insert attach; 
        
 
    // send the user to the account to view results
    //return new PageReference('/'+parentId);
    return new PageReference('/'+'flow/Email_Cloud_Invoice?MBCID='+parentId + '&AccountID='+AccountId + '&AttachmentID='+doc.id+ '&retURL='+parentId);
 
  }    
 
}

Hi,

 

In the Iframe PDF page you can't use standard controller, try using the contoller by getting the record Id in the URL.

 

Once you did this in the Parent Visualforce: page also pass the same Id in the URL and  collect it in any

ID variable(Variable Name is : recordvar) and change the below code

 

 Change the src attribute like below

 <iframe height="600px" id="Page" name="InvoicePDF" src="/apex/InvoicePDF2?id={!recordvar}" width="100%"></iframe>

saravanan, I'm already getting the reocrd id with the string "parentId". I tried placing this insted of "recordvar" in the URL and got:

Error: Unknown property 'PdfGeneratorController.parentId'

 

Can you elaborate what needs to be changed in the Controller / PDF?

 

Thanks

Same controller in the parent vf page worked for me:

<iframe src="/apex/InvoicePDF2?id={!Monthly_Cloud_Bill__c.Id}"></iframe>

<apex:iframe src="apex/vfpagename?id=XXXXXXXXXXXX" scrolling="false"/>
