Hi Shweta,

Thanks for posting on PSC.

Have you tried using an OOTB activity "HTMLTOPDF"? 

The @baseclass.HTMLToPDF activity converts a HTML source to a PDF document in the form of a byte array.

  1. On the @baseclass.HTMLToPDF activity rule form, click Run  to display the Run Rule window.

Pega provides lot of jsp tags to read the data from clipboard. you can refer pega platform help guide for jsp tags.Using them you can get the data and display in desired format(of course ,you should have some html knowledge).then you can use that html stream rule as a paramer for HTMLtoPDF activity.

html stream rule will be under technical category

We'd prefer it if you saw us at our best.
