I know that theres different ways to approach this but seeing if anyone has done something similiar. I know that that theres a Print Item Label function but i need to pull quantity values from the transaction. How would yall approach this?

Essentially, the suitelet just takes in the Internal ID of the Sales Order, loads the sales order, loops through the lines and produces a PDF string for each line, then render that string to a PDF file and the user can print from there
