The generate document task generates a document (Word or PDF) and stores the reference to the document as a process variable. The document is based on a (Word) template that describes how the document needs to be rendered, using process variables and various constructs (such as if-clauses and loops). See the Developer Guide on how to use the generate document task.
A generate document task appears as a rounded rectangle with a document icon on the top-left corner.
