Question

Download and Manipulate a Mendix PDF

0

I am trying to do some work where a user is able to download a PDF file locally, and then that at the same time a copy of that file is manipulated and then automatically pushed to a file server. The problem I am encountering is that the file isn't downloaded to the user's machine until the session/microflow ends. This means that if I try to manipulate the file or move the file, I can't because it technically doesn't exist yet. Is there a way to, in one microflow, using Mendix PDF generator download the file and manipulate it?

Hi,

I am not sure if this would work but you could try a parent nanoflow that calls 2 microflows. Microflow 1 is the file download, then microflow 2 manipulates the file.
