Hi, can PDFs be printed using Printables? Or, is there another way to print PDFs?
There was a post that this was disabled in 7.14, but was coming back.

It was possible using FastReports, but this has been retired in 8.0.3.

Hello,
As of now, the PDF conversion functionality is not available in the ootb version of the system.
Currently, we can recommend using the PDF conversion feature in MS Word by using the "Save As" option.
As a workaround, if it is necessary to prevent users from making changes to the PDF file after exporting:
You can upload a Word file with a password for modifications as a template for the printable. This way, the necessary data will be included in the file, but it will not be possible to make changes without knowing the password.
Additionally, we can suggest an alternative approach:
Use the marketplace addon "Aspose.PDF connector for Creatio" - https://marketplace.creatio.com/app/asposepdf-connector-creatio
Best regards,

Is there a plan to reinclude PDF exports OOTB at some point ?

Hello,
We have registered an idea and forwarded it to the corresponding R&D team for further review.
Unfortunately, there is no exact ETA as of now.

Yuliya Gritsenko,
I've tried to use that marketplace extension following all the steps but I get an error when trying to generate a printable in PDF format. Do you know if there is any incidence or recent bug with that extension?
