Some clients want to add a PDF of one or more pages at the end of an eFORMz-generated document. Adding a one-page PDF is straightforward, but more than one page requires a specific setup. This article explains how to set it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prerequisites<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PDF files must be in a known location with a known file name. A known file name means either a fixed name or a name that can be determined using form data. For example, if PDF files are stored in \/minisoft\/input\/pdf<\/em>, and PDF files have the name <Year>-<PONumber>.pdf<\/em>, a project that creates PO forms can attach a PDF by including the file \/minisoft\/input\/pdf\/<Year>-<PONumber>.pdf<\/em>. For example, \/minisoft\/input\/pdf\/2020-123456.pdf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating the Project<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Create a new project for your document. Add your document as usual with one or more forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Add a form to render the PDF document. Create a variable in the form, PDFFileName, and set it to the path and name of the PDF file. How you do this depends on your configuration and file naming system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Add a Document Template, a table, and a paragraph. Right click the paragraph > Add image > Image from file using variable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. In the window, select the variable PDFFileName. Set the end page beyond the maximum number of pages that the PDF file will have. Click OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Save the project. When the document is created, the entire PDF will be appended to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
