Static Pdf

Recipe which loads pdf from static source

Basics

This recipe lets you use an static PDF as the output result of a render execution. It is useful when you have an existing PDF file and you just want to modify or add content to it using pdf-utils, or maybe add a signature or password protection to it, in this case you can create an asset with a PDF file as its content, then you can create a template using the static-pdf recipe and add a reference to the pdf asset using the static pdf options, finally when you render this template the result will be the referenced pdf asset.

API

{
  "template": {
    "name": "my template",
    "staticPdf": {
      "pdfAssetShortid": "<asset shortid here>"
    }
  }
}

You may want to avoid storing your static PDF file inside jsreport store. In this case, you can send the encoded PDF inline in your rendering request.
