Hi all,
In our project we need to produce with Creatio application some .pdf documents. In order to do this we found a Creatio Application (Aspose.PDF connector). This application is not free of charge.
We were wondering if exists an OOTB (free of charge) functionality to produce .pdf documents. We are asking since on our view 'production of .pdf document' must be an OOTB functionality. Moreover it's very hard to convince a customer that this functionality it not free of charge.
Best Regards
Stefano

Hello,
By default, Creatio provides a plugin to be able to upload only in Word format.

PDF conversion in printables is available after installing this marketplace app https://marketplace.creatio.com/app/asposepdf-connector-creatio. The first 150 conversions are for free, but other conversions require additional payment (prices are available here https://purchase.aspose.cloud/pricing).
So for test purposes, you can use the free 150 conversions provided in the app.
We have already registered the idea for our R&D team to implement this functionality in further releases. I will assign your case to this project in order to increase its priority.
Best regards,
Ivan
Besides, this aspose means that your document will go through some 3rd-party service, that is not acceptable by many customers security polices.
So, it is extremely necessary to have this functionality inside Creatio system
Vladimir Sokolov,
Yes, the security issue is often brought up by our clients/prospects too !

This issue has years!
Clearly the less work to customer need ratio in the Creatio dev pipeline
I hope this is the time
We've also had problems with the conection with aspose, besides the security issues, actual failures at certain time
