PDF

getContentAsPDF()

Returns the page in PDF, regardless of the <apex:page> component’s renderAs attribute.

Signature

public Blob getContentAsPDF()

Return Value

Type: Blob

Usage

This method can’t be used in:

  • Triggers
  • Test methods. If you use getContentAsPDF in a test method, the test method fails. getContentAsPDF is treated as a callout in API version 34.0 and later.
  • Apex email services

You also can’t use the method to retrieve the output of a different Visualforce page with the same controller and controller extensions. Instead, pass the base URL of the destination page.

new PageReference(Site.getBaseUrl() + '/apex/VisualforcePageName').getContentAsPDF();
