how do i create a pdf which pdf template and save it into the file cabinet? How do i create a file with this? it is erroring out at contents: renderer.templateContent,

var renderer = render.create();
    renderer.setTemplateByScriptId("CUSTTMPL_GBS_CONSOLIDATED_BOL");
    renderer.addCustomDataSource({
      format: render.DataSource.OBJECT,
      alias: "JSON",
      data: pdf
    });
    var bol = renderer.renderAsPdf();

 var filex = file.create({
      name: "samplepdf" + num,
      fileType: file.Type.PDF,
      contents: renderer.templateContent,
      folder: 2244
    });

    let fileid = filex.save();

What record are you trying to render?

custom JSON object i am sending

Ah sorry I was thinking you were adding in a custom data source as part of rendering another record.

do I just create a render inside the for loop and add those objects inside a <pdfset>

If you are creating more than one pdf within a pdf then yes you use <pdfset>

Is it a JSON object or a JSON string you are passing in? They require different options

json obj

renderer.templateContent

is used for the same purpose as

renderer.setTemplateByScriptId

oh

bol

should already be a file object, you dont need to create another
