Register new pdf template and send it with invoice

[SiiXFX]

Hello, I would like to create a module which registers a new PDF template and attaches to an order with an second mail.

So I started with the "hookActionValidateOrder" function to send a second mail with "Mail::send( ... )". This works without problems!
But now I want to attach a custom PDF template to this mail. I don't know how to register a new PDF template like the "Invoice" template. I just need a minimal template to start with.

I looked at the file "PaymentModule.php" which contains the standard invoice mail. Then I copied the line which says:

$pdf = new PDF( ... );

I absolutely do not understand which parameter it needs. I believe that the 1st parameter is the content of the PDF file. The second parameter is the specification for the PDF template? But how do I register a new PDF template?

Thanks in advance!

See the /classes/pdf/PDF.php file. The constructor takes these parameters:

($objects, $template, $smarty, $orientation = 'P')

Thank you for the answer but I do not know how to register the template for the second parameter. Also I would like to know how the object must be constructed for the first parameter.

Learn from the code. It is better than describe it here.
