Hello all,

We have a requirement from the business to generate a PDF automatically for a record (not a report) whenever the record reaches a certain phase, and then attach it to the record.

I have tried creating the following Business rule suggested by Shrishir but this does not create the attachment for me.

Generate PDF document for each change request

Any ideas? Thanks for any help,

Charles

Hi Chuck,

 

I used this code to generate pdf in business rule after insert, But it is not working. This is used for lifecycle event.
