I created my agents with a generate text and included a prompt with markdown for each. how can I output the text into a pdf without having to go through Display Asset? I tried and got errors. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you

Hi @AIFusionCoven,

Thanks for the post!

To generate a PDF report from Generate Text blocks that create outputs in markdown, follow these steps:

1. Add a Generate Asset block with the following settings:

- Source Type: Markdown Text
- Source Document: Reference the variables that contain the outputs of your Generate Text blocks
- Add an Output Variable
- Format: Select PDF

1. Add a Display Content block with the following settings:

- Message: Reference the variable of the Generate Asset block
- Display Type: Select PDF
