PDF generation issue through standard agent
Having hard time to generating PDF through standard agent. PDF with improper alignment, without styles and colors as it generated from backend process (standard agent). If it is generated from front end using create pdf smart shape everything is looking good, but if it is created from agent no styles and colors applied. Please help me out of this.

Hi,
Perform below steps and your issue will get resolved.
1) Instead of configuring the Queue method in activity step, configure the queue method in java step with necessary parameters passed.
2) The java step code is as follows:
tools.getParameterPage().putString("pyID", myStepPage.getProperty(".pyID").getStringValue());
tools.getParameterPage().putString("inStandardsMode","true");
final ClipboardPage portal = tools.findPage("pyPortal");
final List otherPages = new ArrayList(){{add(portal);}};
tools.getRequestor().queueBatchActivity("Activity_class_name", "Activity_name",tools.getParameterPage(),null,otherPages,false );
Thanks and Regards,

Earlier it was from the skin and was working fine with Generate PDF shape now we are going for agent and Applied skin rule through the non autogenerated HTML as mentioned in link.

but the result is still same, May i know what am i missing?
Approach followed
<html>
<head>
<pega:static type="style" app="webwb">
<pega:file name="workform_demo.css" />
</pega:static>
</head>
<body>
<%
StringMap sectionListKeys = new HashStringMap();
sectionListKeys .putString("pxObjClass", "Rule-HTML-Section");
sectionListKeys .putString("pyClassName", "Demo-FW-Work");
sectionListKeys .putString("pyStreamName", "SummaryForm");
String sectionStream = tools.getStream(sectionListKeys, null);
out.println(sectionStream);
%>
</body>
</html>

Also the following SA seems to align to your use case. Which version are you on it indicates the issue is corrected in 7.1.8?

Hi,
In the below article, it is mentioned like <pega:file name="ExportToPdfStylesCSS.css" /> but you are using <pega:file name="workform_demo.css" />. May I know the reason why there is conflict here.

May I know the PDF generation if you run the activity from designer studio not from standard agent? Are you seeing the styles being applied to the generated PDF?

Hello,
Did you created the custom CSS file at your end and defined the required styles on it? If so, could you please verify if the files are being picked properly or not(by following the steps mentioned by Ganga).

Hi Prudhvi,
The java code you have provided is working fine. No parameters are required in my case, just changed class and activity.
tools.getParameterPage().putString("pyID", myStepPage.getProperty(".pyID").getStringValue());
tools.getParameterPage().putString("inStandardsMode","true");
final ClipboardPage portal = tools.findPage("pyPortal");
final List otherPages = new ArrayList(){{add(portal);}};
tools.getRequestor().queueBatchActivity("Activity_class_name", "Activity_name",tools.getParameterPage(),null,otherPages,false );
Thank you Prudhvi to get me out of this issue.

This did not work for me. :(
Pega 7.1.9
Via agent, no styles applied.
Running the activity from designer studio, I am getting grey background in the pdf.

Hi Prudhvi,
This has been worked for long time. Unfortunately from last 10 days the same problem we are getting in STG and DEV environment but it is good in UAT. Didn't do any code changes.
PDF is generating from the batch requestor but skin is not applied. Please suggest.

Hi NagaRamu,
Please revert back the Java changes and keep the given code as it is. It will work for your scenario. Please recompile the function in all nodes.
