Hi!

I need to create a webservice to consume it from a mobile application.

The webservice, must create a pdf file and send it by email.

Can someone guide me?

I have already build a webservice and consume it but only the retrieve of the data returns, I can not create the pdf file.I do not know much about virtual paths and web services.

Tnks!!

Hi Aurora,
essential steps for your use case "The webservice, must create a pdf file and send it by email."

1) SaveAs(ls_filename, PDF!) the datawindow (will need Ghostscript driver on the server unless you deploy the WS from PB2017);
2) Read back ls_filename into a blob variable and make the it the return value of your WS;
3) From the mobile app retrieve the blob (you may need to cast it to a byte array).

Cheers,
Marco
