You can use the ssattach function to append one or more PDF documents stored in either a Single File Field or Smart Folder to a Web Page View Field.


Note: The attached PDF file(s) will not be visible when viewing the web page in HTML mode, but will be appended when exported as a PDF, saved as a PDF, emailed as PDF or created by a Workflow as attachment.

Syntax

To attach a PDF file to the beginning or the end of the Web Page View:

<!--@ssattach(position;pdf file location)-->

Where:

  • position is either before or after.
  • pdf file location is:
File Source Syntax Comments
Smart Folder /files/folder1/folder2/File_Name.pdf To obtain select View URL from the File Options combo box next to the relevant file in the Smart Folder.

The first part of the URL should be omitted: the location specified should begin with "/files/..." as in the examples below.

Single File Custom Field @Custom Field Name.value@
Multiple Files Custom Field @Custom Field Name.files@ All PDF files stored in field will be attached.


Notes:

  • Single or Multiple file fields on parent/grandparent levels can also be included using:

<!--@else-->
     <!--@ssattach(after;@parent.othercontract.value@)-->
<!--@end-->

@client.[#(?object=transaction::criteria=typename="Transaction Name" and statusname="Submitted"::orderby=trsts desc)
<!--@ssattach(after;$fieldname.value$)-->#]@
