//set header/footer keys
$header_html="{_BLINK_PAGE_NO_}/{_BLINK_PAGES_}<br><hr>";
$footer_html = "<hr><br>{_BLINK_PAGE_NO_}/{_BLINK_PAGES_}";
$body = "<table><td>PDF Example: " . date("c") . "</td></tr></table>";

$content = array(
   "page" => array(
       "orientation" => "Portrait",
       "size" => "A4",
       "margins" => array(

   )
);

//Following code sends an email to your email address with pdf as attachment
$t->addStringAttachment(file_get_contents($result["url"]), "Report.pdf", "base64");
$from = "bmp@blinkmobile.com.au";
$to = "YOUR ADDRESS EMAIL";
$subject = "[BlinkMobile] PDF Demo";
$body = "PDF Attached.";
$t->email($to, $subject, $body, $from);

return "Done<BR>";


/**
* $result = array(

Explanation:

The first two "runInteraction" lines will simply "include" the class files you already uploaded. Make sure your have used the correct interaction names. You will need to put both of these lines on any page, or interaction, that you will be calling the class.

In the code example above, the following functions are used.

After running this method, you will receive a response object array that contains the PDF.

 

 

Code Block
languagephp
titleResult Array
$result = array(
"id" => "<UNIQUE OBJECT ID>",
"url" => "http://url.to.pdf/valid.for.3.minutes",
content" => "base64 pdf content"
}
