This page describes how to integrate a custom converter into Rendition-Plus to convert XInvoice XML documents to a human readable PDF document. Also, the client is configured to show the PDF instead of the XML document.
Rendition Plus must be installed in version >= 5.0.3.
Frist we install the custom converter for Rendition-Plus. It will (try to) convert all files of mimetype “text/xml” or “application/xml” to an XInvoice PDF document. It has the highest priority and will thus always be the first converter to try. If it fails rendition-plus will try the next converter for this mimetype. So, if the result is not the expected PDF, then the custom converter probably failed.
Copy the following files to the folder <rendition-plus>\renditionplus\bin\custom\
Restart Rendition-Plus to activate the custom converter
Now we configure the client to not show the default viewer for XML files - which is the monaco editor - but use the pdfjs PDF viewer. We can do this for a list of objecttypes that are designated for XInvoice objects (documents)
Copy the following file to the folder <service-manager-data>\webresource\resources\client\assets\_default\config\
Edit the file and adapt the array “['etlainvoice']” in line 19 to the technical objecttype name(s) that contain the XInvoice XML documents. A list with multiple objecttypes would look like this “['xinvoice1', ‘invoices2’]”.
Save the file and restart the client microservice (or the entire service-manager).
Create a new dms-object of the above configured objecttype(s) with a XInvoice document as content and check the preview for correctness.
