how can i generate invoice pdf using an existing advanced pdf in NetSuite Suitescript?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To generate an invoice PDF using an existing advanced PDF in NetSuite SuiteScript, you can use the

N/render

module. This module provides methods that allow you to render existing NetSuite templates or custom templates with your data. Here is a sample code snippet:

javascript
var render = require('N/render');
var record = require('N/record');

function createPdf() {
    var invoiceId = 123; // replace with your invoice id
    var invoiceRecord = record.load({
        type: record.Type.INVOICE,
        id: invoiceId
    });

    var renderPdf = render.transaction({
        entityId: invoiceId,
        printMode: render.PrintMode.PDF
    });

    var pdfFile = renderPdf.save();
    return pdfFile;
}

In this example, we're loading an invoice record and then using the

render.transaction

method to generate a PDF. The

entityId

is the internal ID of the transaction record. The

printMode

is set to

PDF

, which means the output will be a PDF file. The

save

method is then used to save the rendered output as a file in the file cabinet. Please note that you need to replace

123

with your actual invoice ID. Also, this script needs to be deployed and executed in the context where it has the necessary permissions to load the invoice record and save files. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
