'''NoteNotes:'''
* If the report is rebuilt the code will be removed from the Header and will need to be re-added
* '''style="pd4ml-display:none"''' is included so that to prevent the content within that "div" is not from being included on the PDF. See [[PDF Writer Custom Tags]] for more information.
* If the report is broken onto multiple pages only the visible page will be converted to PDF. You can click '''Show All''' to create a PDF of the full report.
To convert a report to PDF you could also include use the following code in as the body of the '''Report Template'''
<pre>
This technique can be used to create a single PDF document that contains multiple records, similar to a '''Mail Merge'''. For example, if you wish to create a one-page '''Executive Summary''' of all the Level 1 records that you have at a given status such as '''Under Review'''. # On the Level 1 Record create a [[Read Only System Variable]] custom field with HTML to display with the information you wish to display, formatted as desired. Note: the contents of this field would be very much like the contents of a [[Web Page View]] field, but only the contents within the '''body''' tag.
# The role permissions for this field can be set to '''Deny Role Access''' since you do not want it visible when viewing the actual Level 1 record (although you may want to make if visible temporarily while you configure the field for testing purposes.)
# Create a report that is filtered for the desired Level 1 records. The only field that needs to should be visible in the report is the Read Only System Variable field created above.
# Use the technique described above to turn the report into a PDF. If you wish each Level 1 record to be on a separate page of the PDF you can add the following HTML to the '''Rows''' of the report '''<pd4ml:page.break/>'''
