Ability to generate PDF document from raw template

[Alexander Obuhovich]

We have nice TCPDF library based class, that allow to convert template (*.tpl files) into PDF documents. It only lacks ability to generate PDF document from directly given html, without saving it as .tpl file before doing so.

Attached patch fixes such inability.

Thanks Alex.

I actually never used this before. What's a good place to look to get familiar with what can be done using all this functionality.

DA.

You should recall object of kPDFHelper class and call BuildFromTemplate method of it to generated pdf file contents based on given template name/contents.

seems interesting to me too, is there any place where we can test a .tpl in action?

Nope. This is developers only feature and requires "tcpdf" library to be installed separately. Also it is not used in any of in-portal modules at the moment.
