save content formatting into eforms
We have a requirement to generate PDF documents and are using the eforms accelerator to create those. Part of the requirement is to ensure the data formatting carries over to the generated documented (things like lists, line breaks, bold, italics etc.). The content itself is saved as rich text fields to save the formatting information. When we generate the eform, the content along with the html tags of the formatting shows up in the eform. How do we ensure the formatting is reflected in the generated document?
Attached is the output from the PoC that we ran.

The eForms tools "set the text of a field" using a third-party library (iText).

If you are trying to create a static PDF out of rich text, I suggest trying the HTML-To-PDF feature instead.

Yes - but they didnt help. Essentially we need a way to take formatted text (bold, italics, bullets etc) which is saved in a rich-text editor field and output it in a PDF using eform accelerator.
