Module for magento2 to allow invoice pdfs from eadesignro/module-pdfgenerator to be obtained through a rest end point. It requires (and installs) eadesignro/module-pdfgenerator to actually create the pdfs.

Tested and working on magento 2.2.7 and 2.3.7.

Installation

• composer require thousandmonkeys/m2-restpdf-module
• php bin/magento setup:upgrade
• php bin/magento setup:di:compile

Usage

There is now a rest end point at /V1/invoices/:id/pdf/:template

• :id is the invoice id
• :template is the template id (from eadesignro/module-pdfgenerator)

The output is in the form

{
   "pdf": "xxxxx"
}

Where xxx is the pdf encoded with base64. You can quickly check the output by putting it in a file called pdf.json and opening json.pdf after running this command cat pdf.json | jq -r '.pdf' | base64 -d > json.pdf

Getting module-pdfgenerator to actually work

You need to patch eadesignro/module-pdfgenerator for it to work as its been abandoned.

These composer patches fix it for the most part (emailing pdfs is still probably broken for instance).
