Record extraction to PDF

vasilisg over 7 years ago

Hi all,

Is there an easy way to generate a PDF from a record, for example, while displaying a record then using a related action a pdf could be generated which later can be printed.

Thank you.

@vasilisg i don't think, we have any direct approach to do this, we have a Shared Component named as 'Excel Tools' having a smart service named as 'Export SQL data to Excel', which can retrieve the data from and database and can push the same into Excel, now here we need to do some workaround in order to create a smart service which can convert Excel to PDF, if you are succeeded then pass the excel as an input to the created smart service and you can achieve your required one.

=> Here the most challenging thing is to create a Smart Service which can convert a Excel File to PDF

Hope this will give you an idea about how to start with, to achieve your requirement
