PDF Generator requires a one-time setup before you can start designing templates. The Setup Wizard verifies your permissions and activates the add-on for your organization.
The Setup Wizard checks for two platform permissions: View flows and View tasks. Make sure your role has these before starting.

Starting the Setup Wizard

When you open PDF Generator for the first time, the Setup Wizard launches automatically. If the add-on was previously configured and the configuration was deleted, the wizard will reappear.

  • Support for multi-page layouts, watermarks, and conditional elements.

Deleting Configuration

To reset the add-on and re-run the Setup Wizard:
  1. In the Builder, click the gear icon (āš™) in the toolbar.
  2. Select Delete Configuration.
  3. Confirm the deletion.
The wizard will reappear on next load. Saved templates are preserved in the Template Library and are not affected by deleting the configuration.
