Is there a way to export PageList contents to PDF in Pega 7.3

Hi Team,

I was able to export contents of a Page List to Excel. Now we have requirement that we need to export the same Page List contents to PDF and download it to our local. Is there a way to do that OOTB (other than CreatePDF smart shape)?

Thanks,

Vamsi.

Hi Mahesh,

pxCreatePDF is internally referencing HTMLToPDF. So I think invoking HTMLToPDF alone won't help in this case. I've created a new section with the same grid without pagination, removed action header etc. in the format I need and passed the section as argument to customized pxCreatePDF activity (commented AttachToWork and Invoked View PDF for download purpose). Now It is working fine.

Thanks,

Vamsi.

Hi Mahesh,

I've tried using pxCreatePDF with some minor changes like commenting out AttachToWorkObject and invoking View PDF activity  for download. It worked, But when I have a grid with Pagination enabled, it is not helping.

Looks like this activity is extracting data into the generated pdf which is visible in the section, did you tried the HTMLToPDF activity which my colleague had suggested above? If it is extracting the complete grid data into pdf then you can use that or you can look into that activity how they handled it.
