To create a PDF with a mix of portrait and landscape pages in Pega using HTMLtoPDF, you can follow these steps:
-
Create the HTML content for your PDF. You can use Pega's HTML Editor or a custom HTML section to do this. Make sure to include the necessary CSS styles for portrait and landscape orientations.
-
Use a Pega activity to generate the PDF file using the HTMLtoPDF functionality. You can do this by using the "HTMLtoPDF" method from the "Code-Pega-PDF" class.
-
Before calling the "HTMLtoPDF" method, you can set the orientation of the first and last pages to portrait by setting the "PDFSetPageLayout" parameter to "portrait" in the "Param.PageLayout" parameter page.
-
To set the orientation of all pages between the first and last pages to landscape, you can add a custom header or footer to your HTML content that contains a page-break element and sets the orientation to "landscape" using CSS.
-
Once the PDF is generated, you can save it to the desired location using Pega's "File" methods.
