Hi Shaik,

Yes, it is possible to generate pdf in Salesforce Lightning.

Follow these steps:
- Create Lightning component to accept an external method and invoke it on button click
- Embed Lightning component within Visualforce Page
- Passing in-memory data within the lightning component to VF Page Controller
- Generating PDF
If you are facing problem to implement this you can refer my blog.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks.

In salesforce, PDF can be generated without using any app.

Yes you can do it by following this method
It cannot be generated direcly so youneed to use the visualforce page and call its from the lightning expoThere are in general two methods to show a PDF in Lightning Component.First, you can create a Visualforce page and embed it in the Lightning component. Second is, usage of PDF.JS library to directly use lightning component to display the PDF.
