Hi @varaande ,

Could you confirm the AEM version, and whether you are using core components based Adaptive Forms.

Is you are using Core components based Adaptive Forms, you can use the generateDoR API defined at: https://developer.adobe.com/experience-cloud/experience-manager-apis/api/stable/forms/ to generate the PDF for the form data, and display it to the end-user for review before the submission.

Hi Sudhansh

Currently we are using the AEM 6.5.19(on-premises)  with corresponding AEM OSGi-Forms add-on package using Adaptive form Component which are AEM Forms-Addon (i believe not AEM forms Core components )

Challenge we are facing excel files attached  in the adaptive form which having multiple sheets ,To generating consolidated pdf is challenging for us with client expected performance/response time  .

If you are on Windows - you can use PDF Generator to convert all sheets in an Excel: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/content/forms/administrator-help/work-...

and then using Assembler stitch the PDFs together.

You will have to write custom code to assemble the pdf files and show the pdf using a custom component 

the custom component to display the pdf is documented
