<p>This is a really broad question since it does not cover a specific topic but many things about plugin development. I would suggest you to read articles like So <a href="https://nystudio107.com/blog/so-you-wanna-make-a-craft-3-plugin" rel="nofollow noreferrer">You Wanna Make a Craft 3 Plugin?</a> or <a href="https://nystudio107.com/blog/enhancing-a-craft-cms-3-website-with-a-custom-module" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Enhancing a Craft CMS 3 Website with a Custom Module</a>. You can create a boilerplate of a plugin with <a href="http://pluginfactory.io" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Pluginfactory.io</a>.</p>

<p>To get used to the topic there are <a href="https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/extend/plugin-guide.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">official documentations</a> as well. If you have specific problem/question you can ask it.</p>

<p>In general there aren't many things that can't be accomplished with Craft. It's a really dynamic and flexible CMS and can be enhanced/extended in many ways. </p>

<p>I'm new in the Craft CMS world, and I'm approaching it because I need to create a web app where I and my colleague can create reports based on what we do for customers and export them in PDF format.</p>

<p>Can I accomplish this task with Craft?</p>

<p>In positive case can anyone give me some hints about what to do to begin (example.. plugins to study etc..)</p>

<p>Thanks so much.</p>

I'm new in the Craft CMS world, and I'm approaching it because I need to create a web app where I and my colleague can create reports based on what we do for customers and export them in PDF format.

Can I accomplish this task with Craft?

In positive case can anyone give me some hints about what to do to begin (example.. plugins to study etc..)

Thanks so much.

This is a really broad question since it does not cover a specific topic but many things about plugin development. I would suggest you to read articles like So [You Wanna Make a Craft 3 Plugin?](https://nystudio107.com/blog/so-you-wanna-make-a-craft-3-plugin) or [Enhancing a Craft CMS 3 Website with a Custom Module](https://nystudio107.com/blog/enhancing-a-craft-cms-3-website-with-a-custom-module). You can create a boilerplate of a plugin with [Pluginfactory.io](http://pluginfactory.io).

To get used to the topic there are [official documentations](https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/extend/plugin-guide.html) as well. If you have specific problem/question you can ask it.

In general there aren't many things that can't be accomplished with Craft. It's a really dynamic and flexible CMS and can be enhanced/extended in many ways.
