How to generate and download PDF of reports using activity without attaching to any work objects?
I have to schedule the generate of pdf on click of a button. using an agent to schedule it and in the agent activity i am trying to generate the pdf. have to show the pdf on screen from where the client can download it and also send via email as attachment.
requirement- from dashboard my reports client will use filter criteria( fields for filter added and the section is created ) and after that can click on the button "request pdf" to generate the pdf. This will be done as a background processing since export to pdf does not work for huge data in 7.2. Can not use schedule report from browser since we need filtered data.
Detailed description is appreciated as i am a novice in this field.
Thanks

As you mentioned that you have the section for filters and to display the filtered results, keep the sections of the filtered result separately, In the activity, you can do "Property-Set-Stream" to generate the markup code for the filtered results section.
After that, call "HTMLToPDF" activity to convert it and then "View" activity to download it.
