I just looking for a confirmation that Appian will populate pdf through a PDF with forms, no other PDF generation is possible. If this is the case its somewhat of a limitation.

Kind regards

    In my experience, document generation is no simple task in general. I would start with using a DOCX as template and then convert to PDF.

    If you need more flexibility, I had great success with the HTML to PDF plugin. This supports all the bells and whistles of CSS Printing.

    There are quite some ways to create PDFs. What do you want to achieve?

      For starters I would like to create a PDF document that is not a form. Lets say a simple invoice.
