Export print views as PDF through script

Export print views as PDF through script

I would like the ability to export print views to PDF through scripting.

This is needed in order to be able to harness the power of the advanced print views, as often an PDF output is required by the end-user (customer, supplier, etc.). Where there are many items with print views to be collected, too much time is used to manually print/export each print view to PDF. If we could automate this through scripting, we would save a lot of time.

The PDF could then through the script be uploaded to an target item, and/or be available to send via e-mail.

It would also be very useful with automatic (or configurable) filename (for example filename consisting of descriptor value and print date, with date format as in current users preferences).

 

To be able to do this, also scripting support for add/upload attachment is needed, ref. this idea:

And support for sending attachments through the email object.
