How to generate PDF from a page with dynamic data

0

I need to generate a PDF from a page in which the data is dynamic and attach the PDF in the Email Template module and send it to the email of the user.

Hi, I don't know how you pass the data to the page. But be aware that there is a limitation to the use of persistent objects:

Snippet from paragraph 1.3 Limitations:

Objects that are created in microflows that contain the Generate PDF from page action are not available to use in your PDF document. This is also applicable for changes made to existing objects. The reason is that those changes are not persisted to the database until the whole microflow has finished. The document generation service will access your document in its own context, and therefore have no access to the non-persisted changes.
