How to generate custom size letter using HTMLToPDF
I am using HTMLToPDF and want to set specific size paper. If i'm using pyPDFPageSize, it only choose A4 etc but i can't custom height and width. I tried using break-after: page; in html css, or @media print height and width but still not working.
I want after 4 <tr> will change new page. Could you help me to add new page

Please see the answer in the below:
Custom Page Insets and Page Size when using HTMLToPDF
You are on an old Pega release. I believe the functionality was fixed in later versions. You have logged this issue against Pega 7.2.2 I believe there were improvements made in Pega Patch version 8.7.4 where we added support for the A5 page size from the third party lib PD4ml jar which was initially not handled within the engine code.
BUG-720119 was fixed in 8.7.4 where we now use PD4ML jar 4.0.9 fx5.
Please see the Pega Platform 8.7.4 Patch Resolved Issues document and search for 'pd4ml':
Therefore in the new version additional page sizes are available for PDF generation - Page size(pyPDFPageSize) can be passed as a param for HTMLToPDF activity . Support has been added for using page sizes in PDF generation which are supported by the v4 pd4ml jar including A0 - A10.

Also note that PDF margins have been made available as parameters. Note that PD4ML v3 used setPageInsets(new Insets(top, left, bottom, right)) , but the new v4 jar uses setPageMargins(new PageMargins(left, top, right, bottom)) .
PD4ML margins are now available to be set as parameters: Param.pyMarginLeft, default value 20 Param.pyMarginTop, default value 10 Param.pyMarginRight, default value 10 Param.pyMarginBottom, default value 10
When standard activities like HTMLToPDF / pyViewAsPDF / pyAttachAsPDF are used, add a Property-Set step before calling the activity to add the necessary margin parameters.
When CreatePDF smart shape is used, set the parameters via the connector of the CreatePDF.
