  3. We have a pdf viewer module which saves and view the pdf documents is this possible with this work flow.

  4. We have an image gallery and an image resizeable module which crops the images automatically to different size is this possible by using this work flow model .

  5. Is it possible to create the entire project requirement with in the this work flow without touching the code .

         Please go through the above requirements and give us a feedback regarding the same.

– 1. Well Flowable has REST api, so you should be able to communicate from PHP project

– 2, 3 & 4. Flowable is a BPMN, DMN, CMMN engine, so I don’t think it does any of this. That said you can easily create a custom service and call this from Flowable.

– 5. I am afraid, no!
