Print Rich Text Editor Field as PDF/WORD
Hello everyone, i have a requirement to print the content of the Rich text Editor field as a PDF , i tried using the HTMLToPDF activity and others that i found on the pega baseclass and Work- class.
But without success. I'm setting a template on the pre process of the flow action in the rich text editor field, and i need to print it after some changes on the field by clicking on a button on the same screen and printing the content of the RIch text editor as a PDF.
Does anyone know a way of doing it?

Generating a PDF always takes a section as a template, even in Constellation architecture.
PFB the article related to generating a PDF using a Section as a wrapper-
This approach holds valid for Theme-Cosmos based app as well. I would suggest you to create a wrapper section which refers to the RTE.
Also, You can use the OOTB 'Print' action which needs a Harness named 'PrintView' and in that harness you can refer the wrapper section above which refers to the RTE.
Also it entirely depends on the intention of Generating a PDF- if you want to attach the generated PDF on a case, the approach changes to running an activity on a click of a button and perform a AttachContent using the generated PDF steram.
Let me know your thoughts on the implementation and requirement if this doesnt solve your query
