Hi Anshul, I got this to work (mostly) however I keep getting a PDF error that it can't generate the PDF because it's corrupt. I'm not sure if there is something further I need to edit in the code to pull the current record or if my Adobe is causing problems.
@SarahNicewander I would suggest to first test the PDF generation with dummy data. Technically, PDF generation in this solution just works as a regular VF based PDF generation capability. The key trick is to get the data passed from lightning to Visualforce context.
