need to create a custom button and link it with a PDF file

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To create a custom button and link it with a PDF file in NetSuite, you can follow these steps: 1. Create a User Event (UE) script that adds the custom button to the form during the beforeLoad event. 2. Create a Client script that handles the button click event. This script will make a request to a Suitelet. 3. Create a Suitelet that does the heavy lifting on the server side. This Suitelet can perform a search, generate the PDF using the N/render module, and then return the PDF file in the response. Here is a simplified example of how you can do this: User Event Script (beforeLoad event):

javascript
function beforeLoad(context) {
    if (context.type !== context.UserEventType.VIEW)
        return;

    var form = context.form;
    var button = form.addButton({
        id: 'custpage_print_pdf',
        label: 'Print PDF',
        functionName: 'onButtonClick'
    });

    form.clientScriptModulePath = './path_to_your_client_script.js';
}

Client Script:

javascript
function onButtonClick() {
    var suiteletUrl = url.resolveScript({
        scriptId: 'customscript_your_suitelet_script_id',
        deploymentId: 'customdeploy_your_suitelet_deployment_id',
        returnExternalUrl: true
    });

    window.open(suiteletUrl);
}

Suitelet:

javascript
function onRequest(context) {
    if (context.request.method === 'GET') {
        var pdfFile = render.transaction({
            entityId: context.request.parameters.id,
            printMode: render.PrintMode.PDF,
        });

        context.response.writeFile({
            file: pdfFile,
            isInline: true
        });
    }
}

Remember to replace

'./path_to_your_client_script.js'

,

'customscript_your_suitelet_script_id'

, and

'customdeploy_your_suitelet_deployment_id'

with the actual path to your client script, your Suitelet script ID, and your Suitelet deployment ID, respectively. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
