For ideas, check out some of the existing shared components created that handle conversion to PDF:
Any document type To PDF conversion:

Dynamic Document Generator:

Yes, I've actually used those components in the past. In my experience those plugins require quite a bit of development and have some caveats.
Right now we are having users generate snapshots at specific steps of the process. This is the approach recommended by Appian (see
forum.appian.com/.../Generating_Documents.html)
. However, it would be nice to have automation in this respect to improve user experience and data integrity.

@sally - is there any replacement for the "Any document type to PDF"? The link from your comment is now broken. I have a customer requesting the feasibility of exporting a list of arbitrary document types to PDF, and if this worked and was still available anywhere it would be key to accomplishing that.
