Convert to PDF

Hello Kevin,

Starting from 7.14.2 version the functionality of PDF-convertation was excluded from an out-of-the-box features list. All clients that are updating between versions and already use such a feature in their printables have this feature being available.

Currently our R&D team is working on implementation of this feature in an out-of-the-box version and we hope that it will return back very soon. We are very sorry for any inconveniences caused.

Best regards,

Oscar

Are there any updates on the PDF-printables?

Julius,

Unfortuantely there is no update regarding PDF-convertation in Word Printables, but the functionality of PDF-convertation is available in Fast Reports new feature added in 7.15.3 version. You can read more about it here.

Best regards,

Oscar

Hi Oscar,

Please add this feature quickly.

We have new projects and we can't explain how sucha a basic functionality is not availabe.

And to develop Fast Reports is not the same as a simple Printable.

Regards,

Luis

This was a handy feature. Fast Reports are not easy to build.

KrishnaPrasad,

I agree.  There is nothing FAST about Fast Reports.

This feature is really difficult to implement> I cannot make changes in each and every line if there is any new fields need to be added to printable. 

fast Report - Convert into the pdf is not working for me.

can you provide any other alternative way.

Any feedback on this Oscar:

Hi Team,

Is there any update in the latest version 7.18.1, still we don't have the option to "Convert to PDF" OOB in the printable section. Is there any alternative other than using Fast Reports?

I would like to know if there is a way to force the convertion to PDF in the last versions

Hi Creatio,



2 years into this request, any news regarding this point?

I (and many others in this thread, it seems to be the most popular request in the community) are waiting for a long time for this.

Fast Reports is really a lot of work to setup and to maintain/ introduce minor changes.

Hopefully it is one of the surprise features of the freedom release.

Thanks,

Luis

Luis Tinoco Azevedo, Use protected Word files (.docx) in the meantime. It's better than .pdfs in my opinion. But yes. I know, many customers like .pdfs since they're familiar

Hi Team,

Creation has moved to freedom version and still we don't have the option to "Convert to PDF" OOB in the printable section. Is there any alternative other than using Fast Reports? And the previous "Save Printable" business process element also doesn't seem to work for the latest version and document saves as Word doc. ?

Julius,

How do we use protected word files in this case?

Can you please describe the steps in detail?

How to use it in Creatio printables?

Hi Team,

We keep struggling with our customer for an option to convert printables to PDF. Will it ever be possible, as it was in the past? 

Julius,

Can you please detail?

Serhii Parfentiev,

This answer is not acceptable. It's not a nice to have. Is something every small app contains. As Creatio use too... come on... 5 years???

Yep, time to get this back, and soon.



PDF exports + also the ability to schedule emails reports with attached excel & pdf (not Word), in an easy way for end users (not with business process, which is already advanced for most business users) , helps are clients to respond to their management's requests. 



Today these features that exist in most of the other tools are inexistent as OOTB features (not an addon or with code) .... which should nowadays be a hygiene factor.
