Assistance with Print capability
Version info: Pega Platform/Infinity 8.3 with CRM/Sales Automation 8.2
We are looking for advice on implementing a customizable Print option or, even better, a download/export as PDF to print/export THE CURRENT display on the screen. We know there is a Print action available, but that seems to print a section/harness that is specific to the class that something is in.
For example, we have a specific section (with sub-sections) that is populated by a report definition that we'd like to be able to print. When adding the Print action, it tries to print some pre-defined view based on the parent class of the section. I'm looking for a way to print the actual section that is being displayed to the user when they click Print. Is there a native Print action that takes a section as a parameter, perhaps???
How have others implemented this? How have you implemented Printing or PDF export/download of a report/section?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi Jonathan,
You can look into this explanation for different use cases and try to use as per your scenario.

Thanks! We ended up (for now) going with the option to write a JS call to the browser's native print function. The PDF export is something we are also exploring for the near future.
