I am working on same TCS module. Have you completed this module?

Re: Magento custom shipping extension for generate tracking number

To create a similar custom shipping extension for Magento 2, you will need to follow these steps:

  1. Create a custom module for your extension
  2. Define the module's configuration settings and options
  3. Create a template file for the PDF document that will include the tracking number
  4. Use the Magento API to fetch the tracking number from the shipment object
  5. Generate the PDF document using a PDF library such as TCPDF or FPDF
  6. Attach the PDF document to the shipment email that is sent to the customer

To get started, you can refer to Magento 2's official documentation on creating a custom module and accessing order and shipment data via the API. You can also take inspiration from the Magento 1x extension you provided to understand the workflow and features. Good luck with your project!
