I know how set things up to download an existing pdf file on the ifs. I am looking to generated a PDF from an image with fields overlaid on it.
I can get what I want by using window.print() and then saving as a pdf, but I would like to be able to achieve this when pressing a button on the display file. Is there a way to do this using profound? Thanks!

We do not have something like this built-in to our products
A quick search of NPM finds lots of free tools for converting images, you could potentially use one of these from Profound.js. I have not tried them personally.

Thanks Scott. I am using Profound UI so I would be using RPG and a Rich Display File if that makes a difference.

Profound Logic does not provide tools for converting images to PDF in any of its products.
The link I provided above is for free tools that I found in a quick search that does what you're asking for. These are Node.js tools, but do not require Profound.js to use them, so you could potentially write a Node.js script that you call from your RPG program. Alternately, you could look for other tools that work in other environments.
