Hello,

I have just get it to work with my site (thanks to prior support of the uploading)
Now I know that I can download and view the PDF by using the URL format: mydomain.com/events/fillpdf?fid=[fid]&nid=[nid]
However I would also like to know if there is a way to add this link to a tab attached to the node so it looks like the Edit tab for a node?
Maybe views can help with this?

Thank you,

Leon

Not views. Add a small custom module and write a hook_menu() function. For some reason I can't get it to work, but I'll come back to it this weekend:

function YOURMODULE_menu(){
  $items=array();
  $items['node/%/pdf'] = array(
    'title' => 'Download PDF',
    'page callback' => 'drupal_goto',
    'page arguments' => array('fillpdf?nid='.arg(2).'&fid='.<<YOUR_FID>>),
    'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK,
    'weight' => 100,
  );
  return $items;
}

Hello lefnire,

Thanks for your reply, it sounds good to me.
I am new to Drupal and have very limited understanding to PHP and drupal functions.
Please guide me how to implement the code.

Thank you,

Leon

I would love this functionality as well. I need to add a download PDF link when I'm viewing the submission so the user doesn't have to manually insert the SID into the URL.

I think that this is the domain of custom modules right now. Fill PDF provides the functions and tools to implement something like this, but I don't think it should impose a particular implementation or format of link. Handbook pages with code samples are welcome, and I think that's the best way to tackle this issue - with documentation rather than a new feature to maintain and support.
