Hello Team,

I need to create PDF file on Gateway Event by using scripting.

I can create PDF file on UI by using Report Viewer but I’m not getting it on gateway event.

How can I achieve this ?

Thanks in Advance !  
Regards,

Yep.

Take a look at: system.report.executeAndDistribute: [system.report.executeAndDistribute - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.report.executeAndDistribute)
