&lt;p&gt;Generally I always suggest that this is more of an issue of &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;expectations-setting&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; on the side of the users / customer / client / etc, than a shortcoming of Appian.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Generate PDF and download in one click</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/117594?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 11 Aug 2023 11:58:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:81363f1f-c579-4806-b227-13a90bd1c2ee</guid><dc:creator>Harshitha Mangamuri</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;As far as I know we can create PDF document with once button click and document with another button click but both can not be done simultaneously.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Generate PDF and download in one click</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/117592?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 11 Aug 2023 11:52:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:0433d922-dd45-47ee-b5da-e1d6de5db092</guid><dc:creator>jasonBon</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Yes, I&amp;#39;m aware of this function.
