How to get the attachment display of a view to show up in a PDF display (created using Views PDF module)?

Question

I have a view with the following displays in a single View on my Drupal 7 website:

• Page
• Attachment 1
• Attachment 2
• PDF

The Attachment 1 and 2 displays both are set to be shown on the Page display, based on contextual filters and relationships. This is working great, but I'm not sure how to include all fields from the Page as well as the fields from the Attachments when creating the PDF display (using the PDF Views module), since they are all part of the same View. Is it possible to do so?

Answer 1

I never was able to get the Attachments to show up in the PDF, but here is my workaround:

I was able to get the output that I needed by using the Reference module and the Viewfield module.

1. Created Content type A and content types B, C, and D. B, C, and D are all associated with Content type A via Reference fields.
2. Created contextual/relationshipped views for B, C, and D, relating it to the title field of Content Type A.
3. Created a Viewfield on Content Type A for each of the sub-content types (B, C, and D).
4. Created a View for Content Type A, contextualized with Content:Title, and added the Viewfields to this new View (using reverse relationships with the node referenced field). I then added a PDF Page view using Views PDF, and that did the trick!

I can provide more detail if needed. Just let me know...
