dwwright Displaying PDF attachments when using renderas="pdf"
I have a custom object which serves as a data entry form. The "output" of this object is a visualforce page that displays the fields niceley formatted and set to renderas="pdf". A requirement I have is for users to be able to attach pdfs to this object and print them along with the contents of the object itself. I need to be able to display the attached pdf's in the visualforce page. Currently I'm attempting to do it using the following code:
<apex:repeat var="att" value="{!Quality_Document__c.attachments}">
<apex:iframe src="/servlet/servlet.FileDownload-file={!att.Id}"/>
</apex:repeat>
Where Quality_Document__c is my custom object. When I try this, the pdf page displays nothing. When I remove the renderas="pdf", it shows whitespace. If anybody has any ideas as to why this is, or has suggestions for alternate methods of doing this, please let me know!
