How to create and email a generated pdf

Hi,

Here is what I would do:
- I would download the zip of the install package of the PDF invoice plugin ( www.hikashop.com/marketplace/product/18-plugin-pdf.html ).
- I would extract that zip in a folder
- I would ask an AI like claude code or openai codex to look at the folder content, and tell it what you want to do.
- It should normally propose to build a plugin implementing a similar event ( onBeforeMailSend ) and the HTML2PDF library in the plugin with extra code to get data from the order (usually in $data) to generate the PDFs like you need (you'll have to provide template PDFs or something).

Of course, you'll probably need some back and forth with the AI, testing, and maybe a bit of manual development.

A more traditional approach could be to try using HikaSerial:
www.hikashop.com/component/hikashop/product/17-hikaserial.html
It has an attach serial plugin to generate an image with text taken from custom fields:
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/1...ns-attachserial.html
And there is a similar plugin included in it for PDF files.

The first approach is something I would do as a developer. The second approach doesn't involve code but is more restrictive in what you can do and requires fiddling with the settings.
