Not through any capability built in to Ignition.

Reading and editing PDFs is a substantially different process from creating them.

You could try a Java PDF library (for instance, Apache PDFBox; FOSS) - but you’ll have to either load that dependency via a module or the (unsupported) workaround using the `lib/` folder on the gateway detailed elsewhere on the forums.
