How to save pdf invoices manually and automatically?

[Somepub]

I have solution for saving invoices to my server

 

I override the pdf files

Here is my code:

 

PDF.PHP

<?php

class PDF extends PDFCore
{
    public function render($display = true)
    {
        if($this->template == PDF::TEMPLATE_INVOICE)
            parent::render('F', true); //This renders to automatic save

        return parent::render($display);
    }
}

?>

PDFGenerator.PHP

<?php

 class PDFGenerator extends PDFGeneratorCore
{
    public function render($filename, $display = true)
    {
        if (empty($filename)) {
            throw new PrestaShopException('Missing filename.');
        }

        $this->lastPage();

        if ($display === true) {
            $output = 'D';
        } elseif ($display === false) {
            $output = 'S';
        } elseif ($display == 'D') {
            $output = 'D';
        } elseif ($display == 'S') {
            $output = 'S';
        } elseif ($display == 'F') {
            $output = 'F';
            $filename = '/place/folder/invoices/print_it/'.str_replace("#", "", $filename); //file name starts with #, replacing for printing
        } else {
            $output = 'I';
        }

        return $this->output($filename, $output);
    }
}

?>

All is working fine with my automatic invoice save, but when I'm downloading invoice manually(clicking view invoice in adminpanel), I'm getting an error or just a blank pdf file. So I can understand that this problem occurs with PDF.PHP file..

 

I tried to render both, but that dident help:

 

PDF.PHP

<?php

class PDF extends PDFCore
{
    public function render($display = true)
    {
        if($this->template == PDF::TEMPLATE_INVOICE)
            parent::render('F', true);
            parent::render('I', true);

        return parent::render($display);
    }
}

?>

It only renders the first of the parent::render, if  parent::render('I', true) was first, I could download invoices manually, but automatic invoice save would be blank

 

Soo.. is there any solution to this?

Hello @compleus,

I did found a solution for this!
 

class PDF extends PDFCore
{
    public function render($display = true)
    {
        if($this->template == PDF::TEMPLATE_INVOICE && Tools::getValue('printer') == 1) {
			// Output PDF to local file
            parent::render('F');
            //echo "<script>window.close();</script>"; // added javascript for automatic closure after link print clicked
        }
        else {
            return parent::render($display); // Saving manually
        }
    }
}

Hi @Somepub, I'd like to integrate this aswel on my PS installation. 

I can't seem to find the pdf.php file. Where do I find these files and where do I override them? 

Thanks!
