Hello, I have a delivery prepared with an attached personalized PDF file.

I would like to see where is that PDF in the database, I've explored the nms:Delivery Data Schema and I can't find it.

Hi @heku_ 

 

The PDF is personalized on the fly while sending out the delivery. Only the template is stored on the servers. You can take this similar to personalised email templates, where the code resides in the email template and when the delivery is sent out they get personalized and reaches the customer.

 

If you want to preview, you can select the recipient and see how does the PDF renders based on personalizations.

Hello @heku_ ,

 

When you attach a file with attach icon in email delivery, it is stored on Adobe campaign server on upload folder. 

Path of folder: Adobe Campaign Classic v7\var\instance_name\upload

PFA: Screenshot of folder

 

There file is stored with md5 name.

You can find this md5 name in your delivery XML also.

<attachment codepage="0" compressMode="print" contentType="application/pdf" filterActive="false" label="PruebaPDF.docx" loaded="1" md5="3f59978f29b71b89fdc0884de21fdebf" nameScriptActive="false" size="52927" storageType="0" type="normal" upload="true">

 

When you send delivery, adobe campaign attach that file from that folder.

This is not stored in database. 

 

I hope this will help you.

 

Kr, 

Parvesh
