Hi

Has someone implemented a solution to transform an HTML based dashboard (created with App Studio or Dev Studio HTML canvas, not a "document" ) to PDF in a single click ?
I thought about the following flow:

1. Create the HTML dashboard page using App Studio html canvas
2. create a separate html form to call this html file. the form will contain for example an output option to pdf. This form will execute a container fex
3. In the container fex
In scenario where &OUTPUT=PDF then call using OS commands phantomjs with the relevant parameters (to create a screenshot of the HTML output and generate it within PDF), the URL to call the htmlform with all the relevant variables concatenated
4. return the produced pdf file created by phantomjs to the user's browser

Thanks

Eran
