Generate a prescription PDF
Produce a prescription PDF directly from the iPad using a prescriber on file.
Overview
When the patient needs a new prescription and the organization has the authority to issue one, the iPad can generate a compliant PDF right on the device. Pick the prescriber, fill in patient details and symptoms, set duration and daily dosage, and the iPad produces a filled PT33-style prescription (with Buddhist-calendar dates) and saves it to the patient profile.
The generated PDF replaces any previous prescription on the patient.
When to use it
- In-clinic prescriber issuing a fresh prescription during the visit
- Re-issuing after the patient's previous prescription expired
- Replacing a lost or damaged paper prescription

- Customer document ID is used internally but not included in the saved file name for privacy.
