New Feature

New PDF Experience!

You can now export form documents utilizing our new PDF Experience!  The new PDF export utilizes a headless browser to get a PDF that is much closer to what the form looks like on the screen and it's fully accessible!!  This functionality will eventually replace the PDF generation in Kuali forms but we're providing the option to preview the functionality so we can gather your feedback and not disrupt your currently configured export setup.  Within Form Settings you'll see a new option of 'New PDF Experience' option once the 'Allow PDF export of documents' is enabled.  You also have the option to append all the PDF attachments uploaded in the form to the end of the PDF in the new generator if you select the 'Include PDFs uploaded through the form' option:

Form Settings Config Options

Here's a side-by-side comparison of the current print verses the new PDF Experience:

Some things to keep in mind:

  • There is no immediate impact or action required - the current PDF export will continue to work as is and you'll need to update your configuration in Form Settings to take advantage of the new PDF Experience.
  • When the new option is selected all PDF exports in that app will use the new PDF export. This includes the document view, workflow notification attachments and the GraphQL API.
  • New PDF export meets accessibility standards and it will render a PDF that looks like the actual form on the screen.

Start using today and let us know your feedback! :)

Please note, we have many requests to be able to control which sections of the form are exported when the PDF is created (included Office Use Only sections).  This new PDF Experience does not address that need but that's still on our roadmap to address in the future.
