This example uses a Document Template to generate a PDF, and then attaches the PDF to the current case.
In outline, the process is:
- Use the generateDocument API to create a PDF (or HTML) document from an existing template.
- Use the getDocument API to retrieve it, in the form of a PlatformFileBean.
- Use the addRecord API to attach the PlaformFileBean to the case.
