Im trying to save a Vf page as an Attachment but the blob does not contain the values from the record.
Im trying to understand if i need to pass in the record ID or not.. or what am i missing.
Code Below. Thanks in advance.
public class ContractAttachment {
private final CR_Contract__c con;
public ContractAttachment(ApexPages.StandardController standardPageController) {
con = (CR_Contract__c)standardPageController.getRecord();
}
public PageReference attachPDF() {
PageReference pdfPage = Page.CRcontract;
Blob pdfBlob = pdfPage.getContent();
Agreement__c agreement = new Agreement__c(CR_Contract__c = con.Id );
insert agreement;
Attachment attach = new Attachment(parentId = agreement.Id, Name = 'pdfAttachment.pdf', body = pdfBlob);
insert attach;
PageReference pageWhereWeWantToGo = new ApexPages.StandardController(agreement).view();
pageWhereWeWantToGo.setRedirect(true);
return pageWhereWeWantToGo;
}}
The VF page that is linked to a custom button
<apex:page action="{!attachPDF}" extensions="ContractAttachment" standardController="CR_Contract__c">
<apex:pageMessages ></apex:pageMessages>
<apex:detail inlineEdit="true" relatedList="true"></apex:detail>
</apex:page>
And the VF page that i want as an attachment:
<apex:page standardController="CR_Contract__c" extensions="CrContractExt" renderAs="pdf" showHeader="false" sidebar="false" standardStylesheets="false" applyBodyTag="false" applyHtmlTag="false">
<html>
<head>

<body>
<div class="container">
