Can some one suggest best ways to Create a PDF using Create PDF automation shape in Version 8.8 (Pega Constellation) or any other ways

Hi Team,

I have a requirement to create a pdf w.r.t case information in PEGA constellation 8.8 before the pdf will expect section. but from the constellation, we have only views, but the smart shape is expecting section.

Any solution for this?

@Nagarjuna Reddy Mandati While Views created in App Studio cannot yet be used to populate PDF documents in Constellation, you can use traditional Section Rules and HTML Rules in the Constellation application as inputs for a PDF or Document smart shape. To use this option, ensure that the Section Rules are not based on a template and use a full Section editor.

I have used HTMLtoPDF activity to generate the PDF document in the constellation. Please find the attached screenshot.

I hope this helps!

@RameshSangili Hi Ramesh, will this work from Landing pages outside of case types in Infinity 23 Constellation? Our use case is that a pdf is generated on click of a button by user in landing pages. If possible, could you share steps/document on how to make this work?
