PDF connector

The PDF connector allows you to generate a PDF file from HTML, which can then be made available for download in a Flow.

You can use the PDF connector to provide PDF file generation and download features to your Flow users.

For example, you could generate a PDF file from the responses given to a form from a Flow user, which can then be made available for download to the user once they have completed the form.

  • You can integrate the PDF connector into a Flow using:

    • A message step, which contains the HTML content and layout settings for the PDF. Refer to PDF connector message actions.

    • A PDF page component, which allows you to insert a download link for the generated PDF file into a page. Refer to PDF component.

  • The connector itself does not require any configuration values to be defined, as it is an internal connector.

  • PDF files generated by the connector are stored in an internal Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 bucket.

  • The file size limit for PDF files generated by the connector is 100Mb.
