Problem Definition

Forge macros are able to declare adfExport functions define how they should output ADF format for rendering in Word, PDF or other contexts. It is not possible for an app to retrieve the ADF output from any other macros when rendering their content, for example within the ADF Renderer UI Kit module.

Rendered (HTML) content from the adfExport function can be returned using existing APIs, but there's not way to retrieve just the ADF returned by the adfExport function.

Suggested Solution

• Provide a similar capability to, or extend the convert macro body API to support outputting the ADF rendered representation of a macro.

Why this is important

• Macros provide enriched customer information. When consumed and rendered elsewhere within apps, an inability to fully contextualise the content of a page limits the potential usage for customers.

Workaround

No known workarounds. A workaround will be added here if a workaround is found.
