The HTML to PDF step converts a text or HTML input file into PDF format. It is used with the Create File step to create the PDF file. One use case for this step may include converting a patient's old text-formatted medical record into a PDF.

Known Issue:
Decisions uses the Aspose library to convert HTML to PDF format. Aspose library does not convert the hyperlinks within the HTML file. Thus, after conversion, the hyperlinks will not work. One Solution is to use the ‘HTML to Word Document’ step first and then use the ‘Convert Word to PDF’ step.
