Fonts and colours do not render for column repeat layout for generated PDF
Dear Friendz,
need some quick response , where we are trying to generate a PDF file by using HTML to PDF . it's working fine , but here we are using repeating grids with customized format , when i tried to generate a PDF the table structure and colours are not fetching to PDF.
Note : I am including Paragraphs and sections here to design my pdf format where <td> and <tr> tags will not helpful for me to achieve my pdf format.
can you please let me know what exactly needs to develop to repeating grid layouts with colors if we directly included sections or paragraphs to html rule??
Thanks,

Hello Raghavendra,
Looks like the CSS is not being passed to the PDF.
Please go through the below SA article. Hope that helps.

Hello FaizanFayaz,
I don't want to use <TH> , <TR> tages . i.e don't want to use non autogenerated section where it is not going to fit my requirement . so looking to include sections or paragraphs directly to html stream.

Hi,
You mentioned that you have created custom format for the grid. Have you used custom css for the same or created a custom format using mixins ?
Could you please post the screenshots of the grid in section and how it appears in PDF.
One test you can do is to to create a dummy flow using createPDF smart shape and see whether the end result is same.
I tried a similar scenario at my end. CreatePDF smart shape is including all the css as compared to manually generating pdf using HTMLtoPDF activity.
