We would like to take one of our forms completed in Appian and send it over to another application in a PDF format. Do I have to "recreate" the whole form in a PDF template or is there a better way to perform this?...

You will create the template in PDF and the values can be passed to the template at runtime which will then create the completed PDF with the form values that can then be sent to the external system.

Do you have example on how to create a PDF template? Also the form that I have in Appian contains a couple of "tables", how would I make sure that my arrays are being passed correctly?

In order to add tables to your PDF, look into "PDF Creation Smart Node" plugin under Shared Component section.
Unfortunately, I dont have a means to attach document to my reply and thus unable to send you an example. However, the document should provide you with all the necessary information to get started. You need Adobe Reader OR any other PDF document creation tool to generate the template.
