page: 1,
xPercent: 10,
yPercent: 10,
angle: 0,
sections: {
'type!{urn:appian:ps:pdftools}PdfSection'(
style: null,
components: {
'type!{urn:appian:ps:pdftools}PdfText'(
value: "Some"
),
'type!{urn:appian:ps:pdftools}PdfText'(
value: "text"
)
}
)
}
)
}

What do you want to achieve? Creating PDF can be really easy. Did you read my blog post?

    You didn't share the specific configuration you're trying to use when passing a PV value, so it's impossible for anyone here to help spot whether there's any syntax error etc...

    Also, when pasting SAIL code (of any length) please use a Code Box...

    If you populate "pv!paragraph" with some simple text does it still get the same error as above, or did you just run it with something complex so far?  One thing I'd like to rule out is the possibility that maybe some special characters were passed in that break the PDF generation.  What has the PV value been in previous instances where you try to run it and it gives that error?
