Purpose:  At instances where HTML views are used to generate dynamic reports, the user can have a copy of the report ( at a given point of time) , and can also share it as attachment in private ( with people outside the ZC application)

Motivation: Apart from using HTML view to create dashboards, this is also used to pull out data across multiple forms / views based on specific criteria ( a.k.a parameters).Sometimes, these reports are generated via user selected values, more so in an interactive manner. So, its not possible to think of all the permutaions & combinations to come up with definite views for each one of them

Example :- If one was to handle consolidation of activities & send regular updates to the contacts, dynamic report can be generated via stateless form --> HTML view. By having them convert to pdf, its possible to update them without sharing sensitive ZC application urls

Implementation: Record of reports at any point of time , share as attachment,

Issues: I cant think of any

Workaround: Install PDF creator - Go to File-> Print ->Pdf creator
