Hi Guys,

Is there a way to merge note attachments from a record and produce one singe PDF file on click of ribbon button? I am using CRM online v9.0.

    Hi Sachith Vidanage,

    This article discusses exporting notes from CRM into text files. One you export the text files you can use a tool such as Soda PDF to merge your text files into one PDF. Condensing this process into one action that starts when clicking a ribbon button will be tricky, but you can customise the Ribbon with the RibbonWorkbench.

    The general process is as follows, but will require a lot of custom development.

    1. Create a button that triggers a process to export notes into a PDF file. This might involve creating a JavaScript file, or a custom action to call a Plugin and kick off the main process.
    2. Create the process that exports notes into a PDF file. You can use the article I posted as a base to expand upon.

    Hi Sachith,

    There is no out of box configuration to achieve this requirement. And to be honest it doesn't look like a valid requirement cause in the attachment you could have different types of files i.e.  images, docs, excel, ppt, pdf etc how do you merge the content of these files in a single pdf?

    '

    I would suggest to discuss this with your client and try to convince to more realistic requirement.  

    Hope this helps
