Posted on by IIMO

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,

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.

Hi IIMO,

Yes this is technically possible. What you can do is to use the standard business central APIs

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/api-reference/v2.0/

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