There was a mention of needing this towards the end of the thread below but though having a FR might make it easier for the team to track.
In a nutshell there are lots of places where you might want to control pdf generation rather than it being on the client-side (e.g. I want to send PDFs filled with dynamic content to an e-signature platform)
The app connect component appear to be based on pdfmake which is also available in a server side form via an npm extension so I assume giving us this as a server side feature should not be too difficult?
