Export & Download pdf in one step

peter-kriebernegg

Hi Experts,

I am asking for some kind of feature as I have no idea of how to implement.

In fact we use Application Engine for printing/exporting reportbooks. Within the code the exported file (pdf or zip) needs to be uploaded to the repository using the following command:

    // save exported book in repository
    WriteLocalFile(sFileName, BookExportResultGetBinaryData(berRes));

Question now is, that users claim about need to always have another action/click event in order to download and open the pdf.

So something like "upload and open file" would be needed, but I have no idea currenty. Has anyone had the same thing already?

Or is someone able to provide and idea of how to solve this thing? I know not an error, but time consuming and annoying.

Kr,

Peter

You can use the download attachment app studio action and within the action use RUNPROCESS() to do the export inside the input part. Might even be able to RUNPROCESS that deletes the attachment in the final part of the action. I think we tried that and it worked fine.
