Adding utilities to snaplogic to generate pdf files (from an html input document)?

I’m wondering if it is possible to add utilities to snaplogic to support scripting. Specifically I’m looking for something to help write dynamically generated (via xslt) html into a pdf file , basically to get a pretty print data output to our sftp server.

There seem to be a lot of options out there for python or javascript
Python Convert Html to PDF: Python Convert Html to PDF - GeeksforGeeks
PSPDFKit : How to Generate a PDF with JavaScript | PSPDFKit

Or via an api like pdfcrowd: HTML to PDF with HTTP POST - Pdfcrowd

Also, if anyone has worked with these or similar products your advice would be most welcome.

Actually, it works with the Upload File row removed, and with nothing for “Single file upload: File key”.

I got it to work with the “url” option of the conversion service. Pretty cool!

Followup to my own question: I’m playing around with pdfcrowd, and able to get back pdf content from them on an http post. Unfortunately, the response causes and error. Can snaplogic handle this type of content somehow?

Which snap are you using to call it and how exactly are you configuring it?

Patrick,
Thanks for your response. I’m using a REST Post with service url, upload file, and headers defined (attached)
