PDF creation

Does Hubspot's development environment support libraries for creating PDF's.
for instance reportlab for python (doesnt seem to be the case).
or NODE.js maybe?
thank you

@karien - when I looked a while back, I did noyt see any such features. I ended up using the external service convertapi through a a series of APIs call to create and read PDF documents. Of of the challenges is that there typically are long enough to need asynchronous processing to avoid hitting runtime limits.

Good luck!

Hi @karien,

I've played around with PDF creatopm libraries a few years ago. I'd say it depends on where and "what kind of" PDFs you'd like to create.

best,
