Projects:PDF Printing Improvements/User Guide
Overview
This article explains how to configure a document to be attached when printed to reuse the printing.
Configuration
In order to configure the printing process to return the same PDF over the time go to:
- Document Type window
- Select Keep and Attach Print File
Printing
After setting the Document Type as Keep and Attach Print File, the print is attached the first time it is printed. The popup to select if the printing should be attached is not even shown. The exception is when the Document is in Draft status, in this case it is never attached.
The next time you print the Document, the previous print is downloaded.
An attachment created by this process is not deletable.
Whenever the document changes status, the current attached print is discarded (not deleted, just marked as not valid) and a new one is generated the next time the Document is printed.
 | If a module containing Document Templates is updated, all the changes made to them will be lost. This includes this new Keep and Attach Print File flag. |
