My requirement is whenever we update a record its updated version should be saved in attachments with date and time. I'm good with it but I'm using two VF pages one for edit page and other as detail page (GeneratingPdfPage2) for input to convert to pdf ("Here is my doubt why cant I use standard record detail page for imput to convert to pdf?") Some one please help me can I do this with out 2nd vf page. if I use same edit page for pdf purpose output pdf is getting all picklist values into it. Here is my apex code:
public class generatePdfAndAttach {
string projectRecordId{get; set;}
private final Account acct{get; set;}
public PageReference Save() {
Try{
system.debug('inside save and acc++'+acct);
upsert (acct);
system.debug('after upsert');
generatePdf();
system.debug('after generate pdf');
}
catch(system.dmlException e)
{
Apexpages.AddMessages(e);
return null;
}
return new PageReference('/'+projectRecordId);
}
public generatePdfAndAttach(ApexPages.StandardController standardPageController) {
this.acct = (Account)standardPageController.getRecord();
projectRecordId = ApexPages.CurrentPage().getparameters().get('id');
}
public PageReference generatePdf(){
Attachment att = new Attachment();
PageReference pdfPage = Page.GeneratingPdfPage2;//new PageReference('/'+projectRecordId);//Page.GeneratingPdfPage2;
pdfPage.getParameters().put('id',projectRecordId);
DateTime dt = datetime.now();
att.name =''+acct.name+' - '+dt+'.pdf';
// the contents of the attachment from the pdf
// return page content as blob type
Blob body;
try {
// returns the output of the page as a PDF
body = pdfPage.getContentAsPDF();
}
catch (VisualforceException e) {
body = Blob.valueOf('Can\'t get content as pdf');
}
att.body = body;
att.IsPrivate = false;
// Associate with project's record Id
att.parentid = projectRecordId;
att.ContentType = 'application/pdf';
insert att;
return new PageReference('/'+projectRecordId);
}
}
