Will Inline CSS used cause issues in production environment?
We are using inline CSS for sections which are converted into PDF document. Skin level changes are not working when converting sections into PDF document. Our concern is since it is mentioned that inline CSS should not be used for Production use, will it cause any issues while moving the code to production environment?

Hi Daniel,
The reason behind saying inline styles not to be used in production is to avoid maintenance issues as inline styles don't separate content from design.
However there will not be any UI issues with the applied styles.
Thanks.

Hi Daniel,
Which pega version are you using?
You can Set the DSS "UseCompactStylesForPDF" to true. And look for text file pyCompactStylesForPDF. Here you can define all the required styling for PDF generation.
This is a cleaner way of maintaining styling w.r.to the PDFs. And this setting also makes the PDF generation much faster.
