suitescript to return pdf from xml content string

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
In SuiteScript, you can use the
render
module to convert XML content to a PDF file. Here is a sample code snippet:
Copy code
javascript
var renderer = render.create();
var xmlStr = `<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE pdf PUBLIC "-//big.faceless.org//report" "report-1.1.dtd"><pdf><body font-size="18">Hello World!</body></pdf>`;
var pdfFile = render.xmlToPdf({
  xmlString: xmlStr
});
context.response.writeFile(pdfFile);
In the above code,
render.create()
is used to create a new renderer. The XML string is then passed to
render.xmlToPdf()
to convert it into a PDF file. Finally,
context.response.writeFile(pdfFile)
is used to write the PDF file to the response. Please note that you need to use SuiteScript 2.1 or later to use the
render
module. Also, make sure your XML string is valid and includes the
<pdf>
start tag. If you want to open the PDF in a new tab, you can use
window.open(url, '_blank')
in your client script, where
url
is the URL of the Suitelet that generates the PDF. For SuiteScript 1.0, you can use
nlapiXMLToPDF
to generate a PDF from XML content. However, overlaying a PNG image on the generated PDF might not be possible directly through SuiteScript 1.0. You might need to use advanced PDF/HTML templates for that. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
