CreatePDF generates a kind of Screenshot on the server side, all it's an Image. To generate a "real" PDF you will need another library and build your own extension, or use a third party PDF Generator server, or if it's at user request you can try a Javascript Browser library that can create the PDF at client side, something like: https://parall.ax/products/jspdf of course you will also need to create a UI ThingWorx Extension.
