# Considerations for Creating a PDF Report

Configure the print layout of PDF reports and print engine settings in Visual Studio Code-based Modeler. The Consumer Goods offline mobile app framework uses these settings to generate PDF reports. Sales reps and sales managers use PDF reports to share important sales information.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: <strong>Professional</strong>, <strong>Enterprise</strong>, and <strong>Unlimited</strong> Editions that have Consumer Goods Cloud enabled</td></tr></tbody></table>

On the Displays custom card, you can use PDF reports to share information such as:

- Overview of current product displays at a store
- List of the manufacturer’s product displays
- List of the competitors’ product displays

To trigger and generate PDF reports in the CG Cloud offline mobile app:

- Create a PrintLayoutV2 contract in Modeler.
- Add a menu and a menu item to generate a PDF report.
- Implement the process adaptations for print action.

To create the layout for a store display PDF report:

- Create a table that lists the current product displays in a store.
- Create filtered lists to show the manufacturer’s and competitors’ product displays in a store.

The generated PDF report shows the Current Display table and the Own Displays and Competitor Displays filtered lists.
