Learning Apex Just Leveled Up: Generate PDFs with Apex (Spring ’26)

Hi ,

If you’re learning Apex and wondering when it finally starts to feel like real development, this is one of those moments.

With Spring ’26, Salesforce introduced a clean, native way to generate PDFs directly from Apex using Blob.toPdf() with no hacks, no messy workarounds, no third-party tools.

In our newest blog post, you’ll learn:

• Why PDF generation is a core skill when learning Apex

• How Blob.toPdf() works in just a few lines of code

• A real-world example that attaches a PDF to a Salesforce record

• Where this feature fits into real Salesforce projects

You’ll also learn how to test this feature today by signing up for a Spring ’26 pre-release Developer Edition org.

If your goal is to learn Apex the way professional Salesforce developers actually use it, this guide is worth your time.
