Creating a pdf in an TYPO3 extbase extension on saving a record

I am wondering how I can generate a pdf in an extbase extension. What I wanting to do is the following: On saving a record in the backend also a pdf with the data of my record should be generated an saved in the fileadmin for instance.

I have found frontend solutions for generating pdfs with special fluid viewhelpers primarily, but I need it in the backend when the editor saves a record.

Are there any common solutions in extbase for this?

Solution

  • Generating PDFs has no common solution in TYPO3.
    Alas you have the option to hook in most actions to use an additional library to generate a PDF of the data you are processing.
