Can we use a SOAP call to retrieve an external pdf document path and then print it as part of the workflow?

We currently use planet press to generate our work order documents and would like to print an existing Engineering drawing PDF immediately after the work order. We can add the document name to the incoming data file and I would like to add a branch in the workflow to take that document name, look up the path via a web service call and then retrieve the document from the specified path and print it. Is that doable with the built in actions (I haven’t done much in the way of workflow).

Hello dabend,

Yes, we do have SOAP capabilities in PlanetPress Workflow. You could use the SOAP Client Plug-In to do your request to the server and retrieve the files.

It’s also possible via simple HTTP, using the HTTP Client Input.
