Hi Abhishek,

1. For launching a preview screen - You can use launch a harness and Target as new Document. Inside the harness you can include a section with Grid. With a button to download the pdf,

2. For creating PDF - you can use HtmltoPDF or pxCreatePDF activities and pass the section name. 

and yes, PDF may contain multiple pages, As its depends on the page size, say for example the default pagesize is A4, so the pdf4ml API will resize the content and split between multiple pages if the content exceeds the page size. 

For second question, it looks like you want to create a scheduler which would run every day to create a pdf file and save to a folder. Please check the documentation on this particular topic how to implement it. 

Hi Abhishek,

• You can personalize the styles while generating a pdf through HTMLtoPDF activity by modifying pyCompactStyles.css for pdf, This CSS will be included in Runtime while PDF is being created. Any specific CSS or design changes specific to PDF can be embedded here. 

To enable above style sheet you need to enable UseCompactStylesForPDF DSS setting to True. 

• From the comment which you have quoted, I believe they have included three different paragraph rules header,footer and body inside a single HTML stream, and finally passed that HTML stream to HTMLToPDF activity. 
• The styles related to header,footer and body they have have included in the paragraph rules itself, Since in paragraph rule user has option to include css styles from View Source. 
• You can make use of <pega:include> tags to include multiple paragraph rule in a single html fragment. Please google it with above tag, you will get the examples as well. 

As per your query, i think you can go for pyCompactStyles.css and customize the styles for table as you want. This will avoid the need to create multiple paragraph rules.

If you find my suggestion is helpful or correct, please mark it accordingly so that it will be highlighted and help others to find the solution easily. 

Hi Karma1,

Your solution was perfect. Was able to built an Paragraph rules. Brushed up my HTML skills to add table in the paragraph for dynamic repeating grid.

After successful implementation i have got another requirements for allowing the user the update the static content on the paragraph. That way technology dont have to involve to make any static changes. Once the user update the static content from the portal system should always pick the updated paragraph to create a pdf.

I am thinking if is there is anyway we can store the enrite HTML of Paragraph in column of a database table? That way if user make any updates the updated HTML will get added to table as a new record. That was system can refer both the old record as well as new record as per the requirements. Because system needs to refer both the old version paragraphs as well as new version paragraphs.

Can you please provide your thoughts?
