Hello! I am playing around with the PDF tools plug-in and I was wondering if there is a way to create tables using the Create PDF Smart Service. And if so, do you have any example?

Thanks in advance!

I know, this does not answer your question, but still might meet your requirements.

Another alternative is using the following Smart Services

  • PDF from HTML
  • PDF from XSL-FO

from the Dynamic Document Generator plugin.

You'll need to generate the tables using HTML or XSL-FO.
