Rendering VF Page as PDF in LWC with Ksolves
Overview

Our client came to us with a specific challenge: they needed a solution to render Lightning Web Components (LWC) as PDFs within their Salesforce environment. Their primary goal was to overcome the complexities of integrating LWC into Salesforce. They sought a seamless solution to address these challenges and enhance their processes efficiently.

Key Challenges

The key challenges include:

  • Facing the challenge of rendering the LWC as PDF pages.
  • Facing issues integrating a PDF view with standard functionalities like print and download into an LWC Component.
  • The client is having difficulty sending customers the rendered PDF as an email attachment.
Our Solution

Our developers devised a comprehensive solution that effectively tackled the challenges encountered by the client:

  • To address this, our developer implemented a pop-up model in Lightning Web Component (LWC).
  • Within the popup model, our developers utilized Lightning cards and Lightning card items to display various content sections.
  • Using a Lightning card, Ksolves developers fulfilled the client's requirement by embedding the rendered PDF Visualforce Page inside an iframe.
  • To send the PDF as an attachment, developers inserted it as a Content Document and used the Email Message class for sending.
  • We have successfully helped them to integrate the PDF Visualforce page into a Lightning Web Component (LWC) pop-up model.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the implemented functionality of viewing the PDF page within the Lightning Web Component (LWC) pop-up model offers an optimized solution for our client’s needs. This approach eliminates the need to redirect users to a separate Visualforce page, providing a seamless and efficient experience. Integrating the PDF rendering and email attachment capabilities further strengthens the application’s overall utility, making it a comprehensive and effective solution for our client’s requirements.
