Increase number of pages in export to PDF OOTB feature
Hi all,
I am currently working on Pega 6.3.
I was working using report definitions, so once the records are generated using a Report Definition we have OOTB feature to export it to PDF.
So when I am exporting the results to PDF the records are coming in 3 pages but I want to increase the number of pages to which it gets exported so that the data on PDF is in redable format. currently the number of pages is 3 and the font size s very small.

Default behavior.

On 'User Interactions' tab of your report definition rule, you will find 'Paging' section. Select 'Enable Paging' and check the value of 'Page Size' reduce number to see more pages.

Hi baigh,
i tried reducing number of records on a page but that did not make any change on the exported pdf. only change was on the number of records on screen on browser.

Hi,
Can you please answer below queries.
1) Are you having many results (i.e more pages ) and all the results are getting only in 3 pages.
2) How many pages are getting displayed.
I have used OOTB report definition Data-Admin-WorkBasket •pyListInstances and I have got the PDF as attached with this thread. So, if the format is fine then can you please replicate the same in your scenario.
Thanks,

Hi Prudhvi,
I have lesser records than yours.
I exported pdf for 580 records.
The difference in our cases is you are getting more number of pages in the exported pdf, whereas I am getting only 3 pages. and hence it tires to accomodate 580 records in those 3 pages only and the data becomes unreadable.
I have attached a screenshot in the document to show how I am getting my pdf.

Export to PDF is a different case then viewing number of records on the page. To limit the number of records while exporting to PDF please check data access tab of the report definition rule.

yes both are different. data access tab of Report definition helps to control the number of records per page on the screen, but my issue is how to control the number of records per page of pdf.
Is there a way?

Check pyPDFSettings activity which is an extension from the export to pdf functionality. Here we can set the page size. Never implemented it, but might be helpful.

Hi,
Trace the export to pdf scenario. And share the value of .pyContent.pyPaging.pyPageSize in the last step of tracer file.
Thanks and Regards,
