Currently examples from the Grails rendering plugin documentation shows this:
pdfRenderingService.render(template: "/pdfs/report", model: [data: data])
The problem is that the html template I need to render to pdf is in a database. Is it possible to use a url (or maybe an html string) as a source of the template?
This should do the trick; you need to build the Document manually and pass it into render:
XhtmlDocumentService xhtmlDocumentService
def methodName() {
def document = xhtmlDocumentService.createDocument("<html>")
pdfRenderingService.render([model: [data: data]], document)
}
where "" is the string version of the html markup you want to render.
