    Hi there,
     
    Please go ahead and create a new Sales Order format in the Form Setup under the AR module.
    Then, once you process your sales order, click on Generate > Confirm Sales Order.
    Set the Print Confirmation to Yes. View the PDF version of your SO.
     
    From there, you can Export your SO into the format you'd like to.
     
    Cheers
    Maria

    PDF is just a file format; it's not clear what data you'd like to include there. Won't printing a sales order confirmation to PDF give you what you want?
     
    If none of the existing reports meet your requirements, you can create a custom one. This will handle data extraction, a design of the document and PDF generation.
     
    When you're able to create the PDF you want, you can start thinking about how to get it via a web service. Consider attaching the PDF to a record; you'll find existing entities capable of exporting such attachments and design your entity in a similar way, if you decided that a data entity is the right approach. Alternatively, you can create a custom service or an OData action, access attachments on SharePoint, actively storing PDF files in a shared location or so. You'll see what you actually need when know more about business requirements (e.g. triggers).
