Order PDF Documents 

The bundle makes use of the OroPdfGeneratorBundle to generate PDF documents for orders. It extends the PDF document generation functionality with Order PDF document manager that encloses the order-specific logic to simplify the PDF generation process for orders.

Order PDF document manager is the main entry point for order PDF document management. It provides methods to check, retrieve, create, update, and delete PDF documents for orders. This manager abstracts the complexity of handling different PDF document types and provides a unified interface for order PDF document operations. It is implemented by \Oro\Bundle\OrderBundle\PdfDocument\Manager\OrderPdfDocumentManager class, which provides the following methods:

  • hasPdfDocument(Order $order, string $pdfDocumentType): bool - checks if the order has a PDF document of the specified PDF document type.

  • retrievePdfDocument(Order $order, string $pdfDocumentType): ?AbstractPdfDocument - retrieves the PDF document of the specified PDF document type for the order if it exists, or returns null if it does not.

  • createPdfDocument(AbstractOrderPdfDocumentDemand $orderPdfDocumentDemand): AbstractPdfDocument - creates a new PDF document for the order based on the provided Order PDF document demand.

  • updatePdfDocument(Order $order, string $pdfDocumentType): ?AbstractPdfDocument - updates the existing PDF document of the specified PDF document type for the order and returns it. If the order does not have such PDF document, it returns null.

  • deletePdfDocument(Order $order, string $pdfDocumentType): ?AbstractPdfDocument - deletes the existing PDF document of the specified PDF document type for the order and returns it. If the order does not have such PDF document, it returns null.

PDF document types available out-of-the-box are listed in the \Oro\Bundle\OrderBundle\PdfDocument\OrderPdfDocumentType class. Currently, the only available type is order_default. For information on how to create your own PDF document type, see the How to Create a PDF Document Type section of the documentation.

The Twig templates for order_default PDF document type are located in the Resources/views/PdfDocument/OrderDefault/ directory of the bundle. They are designed to be easily extended from another template, allowing you to customize as many blocks as possible without duplicating the entire template. For example, you can create a custom template for the order PDF document by extending the default template:

templates/bundles/PdfDocument/OrderDefault/content.html.twig 
{% extends '@!OroOrder/layouts/default/twig/pdf_document/order_default/content.html.twig' %}

{% block order_header_logo %}
    {# Custom header logo #}
{% endblock %}

Order PDF Document Generation 

Order PDF document is automatically created in the following cases:

  • When an order is created after the checkout process is completed in the storefront, via \Oro\Bundle\OrderBundle\EventListener\PdfDocument\CreatePdfDocumentOnCheckoutFinishListener.

  • When the PDF document is requested via the Download button in the back-office order view page, via \Oro\Bundle\OrderBundle\Controller\OrderPdfDocumentDownloadController.

  • When the PDF document is requested via the Download button on the storefront order view page, via \Oro\Bundle\OrderBundle\Controller\Frontend\FrontendOrderPdfDocumentDownloadController.

Order PDF URL 

The bundle makes use and extends the PDF document URL generator to generate a URL for the order PDF document. It introduces the order PDF document URL generator that is implemented by \Oro\Bundle\OrderBundle\PdfDocument\UrlGenerator\OrderPdfDocumentUrlGenerator class. It simplifies the process of generating a URL specifically for orders.

Usage example:

$order = ...; // Retrieve the order entity
$pdfDocumentType = OrderPdfDocumentType::DEFAULT; // Specify the PDF document type

$orderPdfDocumentUrl = $this->orderPdfDocumentUrlGenerator->generateUrl($order, $pdfDocumentType);

You can also generate a URL for the order PDF document in Twig templates using Twig functions:

  • oro_order_pdf_document_back_office_url - generates a URL for downloading the order PDF document in the back-office.

  • oro_order_pdf_document_storefront_url - generates a URL for downloading the order PDF document in the storefront.

  • oro_order_pdf_document_order_default_back_office_url - generates a URL for downloading the order PDF document of order_default PDF document type in the back-office.

  • oro_order_pdf_document_order_default_storefront_url - generates a URL for downloading the order PDF document of order_default PDF document type in the storefront.
