We want to capture documents like invoices and display the pdf's on our customer portal.Is there a way to do that? How are you all displaying BC documents in external apps?
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi IIMO,
Yes this is technically possible. What you can do is to use the standard business central APIs

Here is the sample call to a sales invoice which then has an option to generate a pdf link for you to download.

Hi,
It is possible to prepare a web service with a parameter (the invoice no. ie) and inside the ws create the pdf file with report.saveaspdf. When I have the pdf I can return this file as reply of the web service.
Maybe is a good solution. Remember BC do not save automatically the pdf.
