Best way to work with dynamic PDF(generated from template) in FIORI

[former_member788748]

How better to work with PDF files in FIORI, the problem is that i want to create a dynamic PDF in FIORI(according to particular templates) and provide posiibility to download them in FIORI app, simply how it was in on-premise systems, when we generated smartforms or sfp-forms. I know that we can form pdf in our on-premise system and than send it via OData to FIORI app, but it is tooo big and generated for a long time, so maybe we can generate our pdf in FIORI side more faster and don't transfer it by OData.

Why would you want a Fiori application to be responsible for generating PDF outputs. If the PDFs take too long to generate on the ADS side, then review the problems there and optimize it. Don't try to stuff the framework for form rendering inside a single Fiori application.

Hi Aleksei,
what you are searching for is a pdf generation engine in Javascript to be executed on the frontend. You can have a look at github for various engines, but I am pretty sure they will not support the xdp layout, if this is something you need.

Best regards
