I have a requirement to send a VF page as a PDF attachment and also add the PDF attachment to the related Opportunity in Salesforce. This needs to be done via a public facing Force.com site.
The site has a VF page that is a form for a customer to fill out, and the submit button performs an update to the Salesforce records(Account, Contacts, Opportunity, and a Custom Object) with the customers input. The generateContractPdf() method below is then called to fulfill the PDF requirement mentioned above, which is a PDF formatted version of the form the customer filled out.
I am able to fulfill both requirements when running as an Admin, but through the Force.com site, the PDF attachment is created but will not open.("Failed to load PDF" or "format error: not a PDF or corrupted" error).
If I remove the @future annotation, the PDF loads fine, however, the updates made from the original VF page controller(customer input) are not reflected on the resulting PDF.
If I change getContent() to getContentAsPdf(), the PDF will open, but it is just a blank page.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
@future(callout=true)
public static void generateContractPdf(String oppId, String contactId, String businessName, Boolean requestedEmail) {
Blob body;
String fileName = businessName.replaceAll(' ', '_').replaceAll(',', '_').replaceAll('//', '_').replaceAll('/', '_') +

+ System.now().format('MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss','America/Denver')
+ '.pdf';
try {
PageReference pdf = new PageReference('/apex/ContractPDFVersion1');
pdf.getParameters().put('id', oppId);
body = Test.isRunningTest() ? Blob.valueOf('Test') : pdf.getContent();
ContractForm_Controller.sendAndAttachPdf(body, fileName, oppId, contactId, requestedEmail);
} catch (VisualforceException e) {

I'm trying to copy a new user as contact by using a trigger but I'm getting the following error

trigger Acceleration_User_Copyto_Contact on User (after insert, after update) {

system.debug('Acceleration_User_Copyto_Contact Trigger....');
for ( User user : System.Trigger.new)
{
if (user.Email.contains('acceleration'))
{
system.debug('Acceleration_User_Copyto_Contact Trigger..2.');
Integer RecordCount = [select count() from Contact c where c.Email = : user.Email];
system.debug('Acceleration_User_Copyto_Contact Trigger..2a .' + RecordCount);
if (RecordCount == 0)
{
String AccountId = '';
for ( Account a : [Select a.Id From Account a where Name = 'Acceleration'])
{
system.debug('Acceleration_User_Copyto_Contact Trigger..3.');
AccountId = a.Id;
Contact con = New Contact();
con.AccountId = AccountId ;
con.Email = user.Email;
con.Firstname = User.Firstname;
con.Lastname = User.Lastname ;
con.User__c = User.Id;
insert con;
}
}
}
}
}
