Is there a way to generate a pdf file and save it in the app directory on iOs?

Hi,

It is possible to create an external for this. It might also be possible to use Qartam's PDF library.

Kind rgards,

Mark

Yes, the is supported directly in LC (no third party needed). In your standalone iOS settings, select PDF Printing.

Populate a card with the content you want in the PDF, set your destination folder, then use:

open printing to PDF "myPDF.pdf"
print this card
close printing

But, be aware that as of LC 5.0.2 there's a bug that will cause your app to fail silently if there are any Graphic Effects on the card.

I did figured out that the normal print to PDF works. Thanks again for the great tips
