Posted on by Hein Kruger 501

According to the Microsoft Documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/api-reference/v2.0/api/dynamics_pdfdocument_get we only net to add "pdfDocument" and a link with the report will be returned.

Here is the new URL with pdf documents attached
http://*********/UAT/api/beta/companies(*********)/salesInvoices(4a504f68-e9a6-ed11-8b9a-00155d001620)/pdfDocument

Thanks

    For some Reason. APIV2 extension wasn't installed.

    We got the Microsoft__Exclude_APIV2_.app file from the onPrem download file.

    ..\Applications\APIV2\Source

    After Publishing and installing V2.0 was available on the web service Table =  2000000193

    hello, you have to add "/pdfDocumentContent" to the url, as in the attached image:
