    Hi,
    I am writing some code which emails a CSV of all pending orders to the company which fulfills orders for the shop. I would also like to attach pdf packing notes for all the orders to the email. Is it possible to hook into the code somehow to generate a file to use as an attachment?
    Thanks!

    Hi!
    Yes you can. Here’s an example code snippet that creates and saves the PDF file:

    
<?php
global $wpo_wcpdf;
$template_type = 'invoice'; // or: 'packing-slip', 'proforma', 'credit-note';
// create PDF - make sure you have your $order_id.
$pdf = $wpo_wcpdf->export->get_pdf( $template_type, (array) $order_id );

// get temp path
$tmp_path = $wpo_wcpdf->export->tmp_path('attachments');

// save file
$pdf_filename = $wpo_wcpdf->export->build_filename( $template_type, (array) $order_id, 'download' );
$pdf_path = $tmp_path . $pdf_filename;
file_put_contents ( $pdf_path, $pdf );
?>

    Hope that helps!
