    Join a pdf on the server with generated file

    Hello,

    We've been using pdf creator for generating data sheets for products. Now the client wants the pdf template to include a stationary pdf on the server. I mean every pdf generated on server will include the same pages (imported from the stationary file) continuing the pages generated from umbraco content.

    Is it possible with the pdf creator package. Thanks in advance...

    Hi Osman

    Without knowing the intricacies of how this package works, I am assuming the PDF content is Umbraco content.

    Therefore I wonder if there is any way to "inject" other Umbraco based content when the PDF is generated ?

    So potentially you could create a content node within the site that is the "stationary file", and then add a partial to the PDF output template (or however it is created).

    If the above is possible then it means using existing functionality which is great as I note the package is marked as retired and so if not currently possible, probably will never be possible.

    Hope this helps.

    Nigel

    Hi Nagel,

    The client wants to join the "designed" pdf (in indesign) by live data from umbraco if possible.
