PDF Generation

Configure a workflow step that converts markdown content into a PDF result inside Fetch Hive

Use PDF Generation when you want a workflow step to turn markdown content into a PDF result that later steps or runs can reference.

Configuration

Option	Required	Description
Name	No	Label for the step in the workflow canvas.
Content	Yes	Content in Content. This field supports markdown and workflow variables through Insert Variable.
When the step fails	No	Controls whether the workflow should Terminate Workflow or Continue if this step fails.
Add this step from the Generation group in Search steps....

The Content field supports markdown formatting. Use Insert Variable to combine text from Inputs or earlier Workflow Steps before you generate the PDF.

Output

Click Run in the step header to test the step. Fetch Hive shows the generated result in Output after the run completes.

Use the variable picker in a later step to insert the exact output path available for that run. The base reference is:

{{STEP_IDENTIFIER.output}}

Use the variable picker if you need a deeper field or file reference from the generated PDF result.

Example

Add PDF Generation from the Generation group in Search steps....

Set Name to something like Create weekly report PDF.

Write the document in Content with markdown headings, lists, and inserted workflow values such as {{step_2.output.summary}}.

Choose what should happen in When the step fails.

Click Run and check Output to confirm the generated result before using it elsewhere in the workflow.

Notes

• This page lives under utility in the docs tree, but the actual step appears under Generation in the Fetch Hive step picker.

• The Content field supports markdown, so you can format headings, lists, and sections before generating the PDF.

• Use Insert Variable if the PDF should include text produced by earlier workflow steps.
