Is there a way to pars content that contains snippet calls in snippet.

Maybe a bit confusing topic title but this is what I want.

I am building a pdf creator that creates a pdf from a page. but with a custom layout.
so I grab document fields like this:

               $doc_id = $_GET['docid'];
		$doc_id = isset($doc_id) ? $doc_id : $modx->documentIdentifier;
		$document = $modx->getDocument($doc_id);
                $pagetitle = $document['pagetitle'];
                $introtext = $document['introtext'];
                $content = $document['content'];

That works fine BUT the content of the fields is not parsed its just the raw data from the database.

I need the content to be parsed so that snippet cals and chunks are also parsed.
I tryed :
$content = $modx->documentContent( $doc_id );
and
$content = $modx->documentOutput($modx->documentContent( $doc_id ));

but that also gave me raw database output

any one knows how to trigger t he parser to pars content this way?

would be great

I’ve you tried the method $modx->parseDocumentSource()

Document : /manager/includes/document.parser.class.inc.php line 970

<?php
/**
 * name: parseDocumentSource - used by parser
 * desc: return document source aftering parsing tvs, snippets, chunks, etc.
 */
function parseDocumentSource($source) ...
?>

@mephissto: Nope tha did not do the trick ider i tryed this:
$content = $modx->parseDocumentSource($document[’content’]);

i get raw unparsed data.

@Bruno17: I tryed that but somhow it did not do the trick because i do not want a blank template.
so i tryed a variation of your id by dooing the foloing:

        $url = $modx->makeUrl("147", '', '', 'full')."?docId=".$doc_id;
        $content = file_get_contents($url);

one page 147 I have a snippet called getcontent:

<?php
if(isset($_GET['docId'])){
                      $doc_id = $_GET['docId'];
                      $document = $modx->getDocument($doc_id);
                      $content = $document['content'];
}else{
                      $content = "Sorry no id";
}
return $content;
?>

when I call that page from the browser direct then the page is parsed and i see parsed content somehow this does not work when i call it from the php file.
if I type some plain text in doc id147 contentfield then I see that plain text.

mm maybe I know what the problem is... the page is protected and apache (file_get_contents() ) is not logged in.
mm big problem...
