Generate PDF for Customer Invoice

Usage Instructions and Security Best Practices

• Link Expiration: Links expire after 15 minutes.
• Authenticate Users: Only generate pdf links for authenticated users.
• On-Demand Links: Generate the link only when a user requests to view or download a pdf.
• New Windows/Tabs: Automatically redirect users to the URL provided, instead of showing them the link directly.
• Avoid Caching: Do not cache or store pdf links in your application.
• Avoid Email Transmission: Never send pdf links via email due to link expiry and security concerns.

Example Workflow

1. Request Access: User logs into your system and requests to view a pdf.
2. Generate Link: Your system makes a POST request to the pdf endpoint.
3. Provide Link: Your application receives the URL and automatically redirects the user to the URL in a new window or tab.
