Hi,
Also you can refer https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/articles/generating-pdfs-and-attaching-them-work-objects-or-viewing-them-web-browser for generating as pdf.
Hi,
You can use pxCreatePDF smart shape in your flow for this requirement.
However, I see you are using inline grid triple for your dynamic layout. The resulting PDF might be truncated at the right side. This is an expected behavior as the smart shape function generates PDF based on whatever is visible in the window viewport.
Thanks
To resolve the section truncate issue (which is smart shape's normal behavior when vertical/ horizontal scroll bar exist in the UI), you can create another section and uncheck "Auto-Generated HTML" and paste below code in there.
<pega:include name="SampleSectionName" type="Rule-HTML-Section" mode="noinput"></pega:include>
Later, pyAttachAsPDF activity can be used to attach the PDF to the work object or activity "HTMLToPDF" followed by "View" (Code-Pega-PDF) can be used to view the generated PDF as a browser response.
