PDF not generating in the correct format
HI Team,
I've customized pxCreatePDF activity by changing "call Code-Pega-PDF.AttachToWork" to "call Code-Pega-PDF.View" for downloading the PDF generated. I've created a section with the required format (all fields in Inline Grid double layouts). Upon passing this section to the customized pxCreatePDF activity, a PDF got generated with all the fields displayed in one single vertical line. PFA section snapshot and generated PDF.
Thanks,
Vamsi.

Hi Shekhar,
Do you want me try the CSS change you suggested in the link or Free form layouts? I've tried creating a CSS file under Rule-File-Text and referred it in Custom CSS class field of Dynamic Layout's Presentation tab. But it didn't help. Also, I'm using Pega 7.3 and I didn't find Free form Layouts. Please advise.
Thanks,
Vamsi

Hi,
I used 7.3.1 and saw the following result. I have not done any other setting.
I know it does not look exactly same but I think format is preserved here. I have used smart shape to create pdf. I will try once in 7.3 and update.

Hi Vamsi,
till the time enhancement is being solved, you can go ahead with the below local change.
Hi Vamsi,
till the time enhancement is being solved, you can go ahead with the below local change.
1.Create a HTML and include the code :
<pega:include type="Rule-HTML-Section" name="SectionName"/>
2. Replace the CreatePDF with a Utility Shape in the flow.
3. Open the properties of the Utility Shape.Add a rule "pyAttachAsPDF", include the HTML that was created and add Inshandle.
4. Run the flow and check the behavior in generated pdf.
