eSheet currently supports modes such as build, code, and preview, but there is no dedicated view for rendering or reviewing PDF output. A PDF view is needed so users can inspect the generated PDF experience directly inside the eSheet workflow without relying on a separate external step.
This would make it easier to validate how form content, generated documents, or PDF-based outputs appear after configuration. It also gives builders and reviewers a clear place to test PDF rendering behavior separately from form preview or schema/code inspection.
Problem / Motivation:
The current view modes do not clearly support PDF-focused validation. Preview is useful for interacting with the form, and code/build modes are useful for configuration, but PDF output has different requirements around layout, pagination, rendering, and document review.
Without a dedicated PDF view, PDF-related work is harder to test, debug, and communicate during development or QA.
Acceptance Criteria:
Notes / Constraints:
- PDF view should be treated as its own workflow, not as a replacement for form preview
- Initial support can focus on rendering/previewing PDF output before adding advanced PDF actions
- Consider future support for download, print, zoom, pagination, or generated document validation if needed
