Downloading mashup as PDF

[EK_10370207]

Hello there, I am trying to find a way to print/ save my mashup as a pdf. I saw that the PDF extension did exist at one point in the marketplace but was removed. Most posts I have seen here up to this point have said to create a custom extension but I do not know how to create one to achieve this goal. Could someone help point me in the right direction or show me an extension that has been already made? Thank you.

Hello,

Doing a google search gives me plenty of options of saving a website as a PDF.

This is one from Adobe which I suppose is "safe".

I'm not sure if this is the type of functionality you were after, but I think it does cover it.

Thanks,

Jens

Hello there, the pdf-extension: https://github.com/cbadici/thingworx-pdfgenerator-extension is not working any more, as the used headless browser library "jbrowserdriver" still depends on Java-8. So I ported this to use playwright-java (microsoft/playwright-java: Java version of the Playwright testing and automation library (github.com) instead. 

So a newer extension, working for Thingworx 9.x with OpenJDK11, can be found here:
