Generate PDF is not working

Hi,

I am using Pega platform 8.1.

I am trying to launch PDF using "pyViewAsPDF" activity and passing the "HTMLstream" name as input parameter.

but its not displaying any PDF . Can anyone suggest where is the problem and how to solve this?

following steps i took to debug :

1. from the parameter page i see the param.markup value is correctly passing to HTMLToPDF activity and as output param "PDFDocument" is set as " [B@5ff4ace3 " .

2. Is it correct PDF byte or its corrupted one?

3. To further validate my HTML rule , i passed standard pega ootb HTML stream "TraceOptionsDialog" but got similar "PDFContent" as output from HTMLToPDF activity.

4. Hence I am assuming that Code-Pega-PDF.View activity is failing to launch the PDF since in previous step HTMLToPDF is not converting valid PDF byte. is it correct understanding?

Please share some input if anyone encountered similar issue...

Hi, please see attached "Sample Application for HTML to PDF conversion using pyViewAsPDF Acivity" document. 

I tried the steps  (specially step 5 - 7) on both my Pega 7.4 and Pega 8.1.3 systems. I can see "SamplePDF" PDF file to be created successfully.  

If you have an issue, please double check the HTML rule content passed into "Call pyViewAsPDF".

Hi,

Can you please write a java code and pass the same markup to htmltopdf and verify whether you are getting pdf or not.If not then issue is with htmltopdf.

Thanks,

Abhinav
