Generating invoice(pdf) automatically

[Somepub]

Hello,
 
So I'm looking for a solution to save invoice automatically into my server folder, when I press view invoice as the generated URL occurs (http://domainurl/index.php?controller=AdminPdf&token=token&submitAction=generateInvoicePDF&id_order=id).
 
I also did research on google, but this solution, somehow didnt work for me: https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/465729-automatically-generate-invoices-in-a-folder/
 

Do you want to bulk generate them for all your orders or setup an automatic job for the next ones?
To make it automatic to save all your orders' pdfs, you need to edit root/tools/tcpdf/tcpdf.php:

protected function sendOutputData($data, $length) {
    if (!isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING']) OR empty($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'])) {
        // the content length may vary if the server is using compression
        header('Content-Length: '.$length);
    }
              
    //save to disk if it is a PDF about an order  
    $id_order = Tools::getValue('id_order');
    if ($id_order)
        file_put_contents(_PS_ROOT_DIR_."your/path/to/pdfs/order-{$id_order}.pdf", $data);

    echo $data;
}

I'm using prestashop 1.6.1, when I tried this code, it dident save anything to  savedir and I got an internal server error when I opened the generated URL

You can see the URL in the BackOffice. What about to load the PDFs using wget, shell script and probably cron?

How can I do that? I tried wget the URL and I got only html page not generated pdf

Can help

Storing the invoice by using tools/tcpdf/tcpdf.php would even work better if you could add the invoice date to the invoice name.

I didn't manage it yet in this place. Do you have any idea to solve this problem?

And btw the standard invoice file name does not contain the id_order, but the invoice number!

Well... I tried using wget but still stuck, because the downloaded pdf rejects. The error:"Removing www.example.ee/admin111/index.php?controller=AdminPdf, since it should be rejected".

Yes, you need to be logged in.

Hmm.. yeah I forgot to login, but still no success, maybe I'm writing the code wrong:

wget -x --load-cookies cookies.txt -e robots=off -A pdf -r -l1 http://www.example.ee/admin1111/index.php?controller=AdminPdf&token=44q236505aa6f5eb516737a8d534eb66&submitAction=generateInvoicePDF&id_order=3194
