Save Pdf Draft feature

Add ability for operator to "save work". Common case: operator selects pdf; clicks "show template"; edits some info; get's distracted; opens some other CT, etc; opens that CT again - all edits from pdf template is gone. We need to be able to save and keep last changes to template for every doc.

Technical Specification

Summary

3 step process

There are 3 independent steps:

  • step 1) generate template based on CT record data
  • step 2) tweak template
  • step 3) generate pdf (based on template values) and print it

Important observation: generated pdf is defined only by template and not by default state of the template you get after step 1.
