Sometimes we need to save pdf file in directory. In drupal for this purpose we can use print-email-pdf module wich give us pdf file when we follow url yoursite.com/printpdf/nid. We can easily grab the content of this file using file_get_contents() function. You should look at code example:
$date = date('d-m-Y'); $file_path = variable_get('file_public_path', conf_path() . '/files/webform'); $path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . base_path() . $file_path . '/' . $date; //here we will create directory to store order files if(file_prepare_directory($path, FILE_CREATE_DIRECTORY)){ global $base_root; $test = $base_root . '/printpdf/' . $node->nid; $pdf = file_get_contents($test); $path .= '/' . $node->nid; if(!empty($pdf) && file_prepare_directory($path, FILE_CREATE_DIRECTORY)){ $path .= '/order.pdf'; //we save pdf file into order dir file_put_contents($path, $pdf); } }
