Hi Everyone,
We are working on an invoicing application which can take a reports and email it as a PDF. Currently we run a crystal report which generates the invoice, then we save as a PDF and email it.
I have been trying to figure out how to create a custom report format which matches my invoice format and can be emailed as a PDF from my APEX application. Currently I am playing around with APEX Office Print (AOP) to see if this will do what I need. Its somewhat expensive though with the volume.
The following link discusses how to integrate with Crystal but it needs a Crystal Server. I am willing to redevelop my report in any format as long as I can customize the formatting and location of data on the page. I don't want the APEX downloadable report which spits out a table.
How to generate a PDF report from APEX using Crystal Reports
Is there a simpler way for me to use built in APEX functionality to generate a custom PDF and then send it with an email?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
