Thank you, this is a good starting info. I hoped for a bit more detailed information about how to get the pdf file associated with an order. Pretty new to ms nav development :(

Do I understand correctly that you want to address a web service and provide an order number to NAV, whereas NAV will generate a PDF invoice, pack it with zip and return to you back? This might also be helpful:

Are you referring to the reports which you want to save as pdf and get it using web service or do you have some attachments to the order using links which you want to download?

The only question i got left is how do i tell which report to run and which filter to use for the report?

according the link i suggested, add two parameters to function GenerateReport.

GenerateReport(ReportID : Integer, FilterString : Text[100])

in this function you call then Report.SaveAsPdf(ReportID,filename,VarRecRef), where VarRecRef is a RecRef variable, where you load the base table of the report and set the needed filter. for usage follow kauffmann.nl/.../run-a-page-or-report-with-recordref-variable
