Summary

This gadget lets you request a PDF of the current context (object instance).

Select Generate PDF button to generate a PDF of the current context in the selected Page Style.




The gadget lists different Page Styles. These are defined in the gadget's configuration and can be different for each workspace where the gadget appears.

A Page Style is a combination of an Agility design, a PDF Style definition (which must exist in your PDF generation tool) and an InDesign Template Name.

When a PDF is requested, your PDF tool will create a file based on the template, paginate the current context using the Agility design and generate a PDF using the PDF Style Name preset.

Once generated, the PDF will be displayed in a web browser window.

For reference, the generated PDF file is stored in sub folder of the Agility Server's AgilityHome folder.
