Looking to generate a pdf of the composable. Is that possible in jetpack compose?

[Mark Murphy]

This would be better for #compose-android or possibly even #compose.

There are a variety of libraries to capture a composable to a bitmap, including:

• https://github.com/SmartToolFactory/Compose-Screenshot
• https://github.com/KaustubhPatange/kapture
• https://github.com/PatilShreyas/Capturable
However, you would need to create the PDF yourself using the bitmap as the source.

This renders a composable directly to a PDF, but probably won’t work with certain graphics effects and hasn’t been maintained for a while afaik: https://halilibo.com/compose-richtext/printing/
