Unable to set page width in pdf
In Pega 7 when we set width of body in an HTML, that becomes the width the generated PDF. But in Pega 8.4, I noticed that the width of PDF is fixed to some unknown values.
For example - Earlier if we set dimensions as 800px X 600px. It will generate same size pdf page. But now whole content is set in nearly half the size of pdf. I can write custom java in HTMLToPDF to achieve the earlier result but wanted to know the purpose of this change in Pega 8. Pega might have changed it with some purpose.
I am finding it difficult is set font size; be it in mm, pt or px. All of them seems to look smaller than expected in the pdf
I am attaching the screenshot of pdf. Any help would be highly appreciated

@AbikashSharma Even in version 8 there is an parameter for html width.
Check for pyPDFSettings datatransform.
Default value of width is 1100 which is A4 size.
