Create Preview PDF
The Create Preview PDF plugin generates a PDF preview for a single record as fast as
possible. This preview is typically used for previews embedded in web pages.
The plugin retrieves the resulting PDF from the file store and makes it available to the process
as the job data file. The job file name extension is .pdf.
This file could be written to a publicly accessible location (for example the _iRes folder) so that
the path could be served back to the browser, allowing the web page to embed the PDF data
for online viewing.
To make the rendering process as fast as possible, the generated PDF isn't optimized for print
production purposes.
Note
Content creation may be aborted by a script in a Connect template that raises a fatal
error. This triggers the On Error tab of the Content Creation task. See Designer Script
API.
Tip
Drag-and-drop a template from the Connect resources in the Configuration Components
pane on a process to add this task or one of the other OL Connect tasks that create
content from a template: a "Create Email Content" on page599 task, a "Create Print
Content" on page615 task, or a "Create Web Content" on page619 task.
