Convert BPMN to PDF

Understanding BPMN and PDF file formats

BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) is a graphical representation for specifying business processes in a workflow. It is widely used for business process management and is supported by many modeling tools. BPMN files typically have a .bpmn extension and are used to visualize and document business processes.

PDF (Portable Document Format) is a file format developed by Adobe that presents documents independently of software, hardware, or operating systems. PDFs are widely used for sharing documents because they preserve the formatting and layout of the original document.
