My use case involves an HTML file containing paragraphs and tables with placeholders (###data###) for dynamic values. When I upload this HTML file into a smart service and pass the necessary data, the file should be converted into a PDF with the dynamic values inserted.

You need to generate the HTML file before rendering it to PDF. How you generate it, really depends on your use case. A static template and the "Text doc from template" smart service might be an option.

Hi Stefan Helzle ,
I have an HTML document that needs to receive data dynamically from a smart service in Appian. Once the data is passed, the document should be converted to a PDF with the incorporated data.
