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.
