Hi,

Does anyone know whether you need an active internet connection for the HTML2PDF connector to work? Is the PDF created on the server?

Thanks, Roel

Hi Roel,

The PDF is created on the server and therefore the client needs to be able to access the Flow Server for it to work.

Best,  
Aron

Our team has created HTML2PDF flows for Offline use on a mobile device. The only limitation we ran into is that this connector only supported HTML4, so some of the newer HTML5 features weren’t possible.
