Generate a PDF from Workflow
In this video, I will demonstrate how we can use a few simple components to generate a PDF document from a Workflow process. The PDF is dynamically created and can contain any variable data that was derived from the process. For example, if we have an automated purchase order process with Workflow Solution, we could write the purchase order information as well as all approval/denial history out to a single PDF.
Once the PDF is created, I will then demonstrate how to save it to a network file share, email the PDF as an attachment, and upload it to the document repository that is part of the Workflow Advanced portal.

Add Page numbers
Hello Chris,
Do you know of any way I can get the PDF to display just the page number of each page or page 1 of x on each page?
Workflow not proccessing
Has anybody see it where workflow seems to get stuck when it hits the HTML to PDF component
Margins?
Does anyone know how to change the margins for the generated PDF? It seems like it will only allow for 1" margins, but many forms (like an invoice, for example) could really benefit from much smaller margins.
Would you like to reply?
