Subject: how to get a pdf from an invoice
From: Peter <pe...@raptosh.com>
To: FreshBooks API <freshbooks-api@googlegroups.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

It is a recurring theme that clients don't seem to "get" the idea that
they can click a link to see an invoice then another to get a pdf.
They expect the pdf to be attached to the email, which is not how
FreshBooks works.  To assist with such cases, it would be great if
there were a way through the API to get to the PDF for an invoice.
Perhaps at some point you might add to your <links> a direct way to
get a PDF, just like the [PDF] button on the view invoice page of the
user interface.  Then I could use that link to request a PDF and
attach it to an email that I am sending the client in my code.

Thanks for listening!
