HI Thaveesha,
To convert the Correspondence rule to PDF, first you need to convert the correspondence to a HTML, so that the HTML can be converted to PDF.
The output of the property-set-correspondence should be framed as a html ( read the outputfromcorr from clip board page, use appendString(outputfromcorr) in Html stream.)
Later the output of the property-set-html can be used as the input to HtmltoPDf.
Thanks.

Hi Thaveesha,
You can use the combination of Property-Set-Correspondence and Property-set-HTML to achieve the above mentioned. (Use an HTML stream to convert the Property to HTML using property set HTML)
Reach back is any further informations required.
Following you can use the HTMLtoPDF in the base class to convert it to PDF file.
Thanks.

Hi Thaveesa,
Using Property-Set-Corr method, convert the correspondence to a property.
Using HTML rule, convert the property value to HTML code.
Using HTMLTOPDF(available in @bascalass) activity convert the HTML to PDF.
Hope this helps!!

Hi Thaveesha,
Please Create HTML Rule and write a java code to convert the Property value to HTML.
Using Property-Set-HTML method, pass the parameter as new property to store the HTML and the HTML rule.
Pass this property as parameter to HTMLTOPDF activity.

Hi Thaveesha,
Read the property from clipboard page and use the appendString() method to append the value in the HTML rule.
May be the below link will be useful.

If your requirement is write something from clipboard to PDF and email it then you can create a section and include this in a HTML and pass it to pyAttachAsPDF activity. This will convert section into a PDF and attach it to work object. With a proper attachment category defined, you can easily email this attachment.
Ex html:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="webwb/XXXXXXPDF.css">
<pega:include name="YourSectionName" type="Rule-HTML-Section"/>
