How to generate a PDF in SAP Cloud Integration / HCI

[tomvanrooijen]

Hi,

I am looking for the best way to generate a pdf in SAP Cloud Integration based upon incoming data.
I assume this needs to be done with scripting but I am not sure how or which libraries to use for this (Ghost4J maybe).

What would be the procedure ?

Thanks

Tom

Hi Gagandeep,

I am working with the web ui and apparently need a way to add external packages.
Am I correct in assuming the external jars must be in package src.main.resources.lib?

I am not sure if this is already possible via the web ui, maybe via download integration and edit. Otherwise revert to Eclipse for these cases.

Regards

Tom

Hello Gagandeep,

Can we use xslt transformations to generate the pdf document in CPI?
