PDF preview button for a new custom object

Hi,

 

I want to create a 'create PDF' button on my new custom object. I would like it to look the same as the 'create PDF' function of the Quote standart object.

Is there a way to clone the functionality to my visualforce page?

 

Thanks for the assitance,

Liora

Not with the popup and all that coolness, but you can make a generic "preview pdf" page. We have one of those in our product. What you need, basically, is one VF page to host a IFRAME, the other page is the PDF. Set the source for the IFRAME to the PDF page, and view that. The first page can have buttons to save to the record or even email.

We're trying to achieve something similar...I was able to create the visualforce page to view to PDF, and additional button to save the pdf to "Notes and attachments". I'd like to preview the document and be able to: Save, and save and email (similar to the Quote PDF functionality)

 

Could you please publish your code for the iframe piece?

 

Thanks
