Generated PDF doesn't contain any layout format or styles from Application Skin
Hi,
I am generating PDF out of a Section using HTMLToPDF OOTB activity.
Section contains a Dynamic layout with a number of Text Inputs and I have given a custom layout and container format which is available in the application Skin. Apart from this, Section also contains a Repeating Layout with Table in it. Even this layout has got custom container and layout format from Skin and Table has got custom Style from Skin. But when PDF is generated, none of these Layout/Container formats or Style are visible. All Text fields are just stacked and Table doesn't look like a table instead number of fields with a gap.
Could anyone please suggest a solution for this as soon as possible.

Hi There,
To start debugging with this, please check if the markup generated has the styles that you want to see in PDF.

Hi All,
We have a similar requirement where, in the generated pdf Skin rule/style is not applied(Pega Version 7.2.1). Do we have any workaround/fix for the same?
Thanks.

Skin CSS properties are not supported in PDF print.
Follow below option to get basic layout
Option 1: Maintain separate section for PDF print. open repeating grid cell - go to presentation tab - Cell inline style give some basic border based on your need (Example : border-width: thin; border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: center;)
Option 2: Need to do manual code for repeating grid - using pega for loop in section under HTML tab.
Option 1 is preferred

Hi John,
I am talking about when there is no value in a particular cell.( No border for empty cell which has blank value)
I have resolved this issue by including tags related to styling of table as below in HTML Stream where i am calling PDF related sections.
<style>
table{
empty-cells :show ;
}
</style>
