The easiest maybe is that you can download the PDF directly from the previewer in document details.

From javascript API point of view you have:

transformDocument | Alfresco Documentation

or this:

https://community.alfresco.com/docs/DOC-5367-javascript-api-cookbook#jive_content_id_Create_Document_and_Transform_it

so you can easily create a rule, that executes this JS API, or even create a custom action for this purpose.

And it is also possible to enable the document-transform action to appear for documents in the document library:

share/share-documentlibrary-config.xml at develop · Alfresco/share · GitHub

You also have the option in Share to create a folder rule which performs the action to "Transform and copy content" to Mimetype "Adobe PDF Document", etc.

hi everyone

how can i do to put this action in the documents actions after i preview the document?

if this is possible, the users will transform documents to pdf without admins having to create a transformation rule.

Hi @dnhatsave,

It's always best to create a new topic rather than add your question to the end of another one, especially a solved topic. People often see it's solved & don't bother to look at it again.

So, my advice is to start a new post for your issue.
