Using BOI to print Quote

SOLVED

Looking to use the BOI to retrieve a quote as a PDF. Can see topics here about generating sales orders as PDF's, example:

https://www.sagecity.com/us/sage100_erp/f/sage-100-business-object-interface/159332/print-to-pdf-and-electronically-deliver-sales-order-via-boi

1) Does this same object referred to in that thread (SO_SalesOrderPrinting_rpt) also work to create PDF's of quotes, or is a different service used?

2) How does one gain access to the printed PDF? Is it plopped on the file system and, then path is returned?

3) If a Sage 100 user has already created the PDF for the quote from the Sage UI, and I need programmatic access to that PDF, would I proceed this way or should a different strategy be used to find and collect the already generated PDF

By way of context, we are looking to have an external application collect the PDF's from all generated quotes & orders and ship them to a 3rd party system. So, the external application will periodically connect to Sage 100 via the BOI, identify newly created quotes/orders that meet certain criteria, create/collect the PDF's and then send them to the other system using the REST API on the other system.

Thanks a lot.

    Assuming you are referring to quotes entered in Sales Order Entry, then yes.  They all use a value in the SalesOrderNo field as the primary key.

    If you are processing one order at a time to export, I recommend using the QuickPrint property of the printing object, which is detailed in one of the threads.
