urlstring uri

PostGrid renders a PDF preview for all orders. This should be inspected to ensure that the order is correct before it is sent out because it shows what will be printed and mailed to the recipient. Once the PDF preview is generated, this field will be returned by all GET endpoints which produce this order.

This URL is a signed link to the PDF preview. It will expire after a short period of time. If you need to access this URL after it has expired, you can regenerate it by calling the GET endpoint again.
