Java : Cannot use generic in abstract class

In my Spring Boot app, I am trying to implement Template Method and in my concrete class, I am trying to use generic as shown below:

template interface: Not sure if I need to use it?

public interface PDFGenerator {

    String createHtml(UUID uuid);
}

template abstract class:

public abstract class AbstractPDFGenerator<T> implements PDFGenerator {

    @Override
    public String createHtml(UUID uuid) {
        T dto = getDTO(uuid);

        Context context = new Context();        
        context.setVariable(getName(), dto.getName());

        // ...
    }

    protected abstract T getDTO(UUID uuid);

    protected abstract String getName();

    // code omitted
}

concrete classes:

@Service
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class BrandPDFGenerator extends AbstractPDFGenerator<BrandDTO> {

    private static final String NAME = "brandName";
    private final BrandService brandService;

    @Override
    protected String getName() {
        return NAME;
    }

    @Override
    protected BrandDTO getDTO(UUID uuid) {
        return brandService.findByUuid(uuid);
    }

    // ...
}

@Service
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class ProductPDFGenerator extends AbstractPDFGenerator<ProductDTO> {

    private static final String NAME = "productName";
    private final ProductService productService;

    @Override
    protected String getName() {
        return NAME;
    }

    @Override
    protected ProductDTO getDTO(UUID uuid) {
        return productService.findByUuid(uuid);
    }

    // ...
}

I get "Cannot resolve method 'getName' in 'T'" at the dto.getName() line in AbstractPDFGenerator.

My questions are:

1. In order to fix the problem, I think of extending T from a base class from which BrandDTO and ProductDTO are inherit. However, I do not want to inherit them from a base class as they have not used similar purpose. So, how can I fix that problem ("Cannot resolve method 'getName' in 'T'")?

2. Do I need to use PDFGenerator interface? Or should I remove it?
