Create the Advanced PDF Templates: Navigate to

Customization > Forms > Advanced PDF/HTML Templates

. Click on

New Template

and create your templates as per your requirements. 2. Create a Suitelet: This Suitelet will be responsible for rendering the Advanced PDF. You can use the

N/render

module in SuiteScript to render the template. The Suitelet should accept a parameter that determines which template to render. 3. Create the Custom Buttons: Navigate to the custom record type where you want to add the buttons. In the

Forms

subtab, edit the form where you want to add the buttons. In the

Screen Fields

subtab, you can add the custom buttons. For the function that gets called when the button is clicked, you can call the Suitelet you created in step 2. Pass the appropriate parameter to determine which template to render. Here's a simplified example of how the Suitelet might look:

javascript
function suitelet(request, response){
    var templateId = request.parameters.templateId; // get the template id from the request parameters
    var renderer = render.create(); // create a renderer
    renderer.templateContent = render.load({id: templateId}).content; // load the template content
    var xml = renderer.renderToString(); // render the template to a string
    response.write(xml); // write the response
}

Remember, this is a simplified example and you might need to adjust it to fit your specific needs. For example, you might need to load the record you want to render the template for and set it on the renderer. Please note that this process involves scripting. If you want to avoid scripting, you could create one advanced PDF template that contains your multiple designs and use specific IF conditions to determine which design is printed based on certain criteria on the record.
