Workflow to send PDF and TXT File to network share

Looking for some help to do the following:
After Form is submit -> generate a PDF & a TXT File that holds key 'meta data' / 'values' linked to that PDF  -> send these files to a Network Share Folder  allowing a different software program to go to that network share, grab the files and then upload it accordingly.

 

I know how to use the Generate PDF function and save the data into a SmartObject.

 

I'm looking for guidance on

1)  sending a PDF Copy to the network share

2)  creating a TXT File and saving to that same network share (either creating a stored procedure to run & query a table & then create that txt file or something)

 

Hopefully this makes sense.  I've seen a few forum posts with the same needs but nobody has responded yet.

    Hi,


     


    Regarding the first inquiry, you might be able to accomplish this with the community File Service broker (https://community.k2.com/t5/K2-blackpearl/File-Service-Broker-v2-0/ba-p/92469).

    We were able to figure out the File Service Broker (instructions out there is very minimal).   After about 4 hours of testing things we were able to get files to save into a file location.   In process of looking into dynamic file names with expressions.

     

    Last step we need is to get the .txt file figured out. 

     

    Baby steps!

    Khanh -  is there a way to create .txt files that have read off a SMO or Query to create a index file of sorts?   We aren't having the best luck with that development requirement.
