Hi, I am trying Html to PDF with the following code:
Export The Statement As A PDF
Wait Until Element Is Visible CSS:.customer-statements-report-container
{soa_html}= Get Element Attribute CSS:.customer-statements-report-container outerHTML
Html To Pdf {soa_html} {CURDIR}{/}soa.pdf
The PDF output is not as expected.
I am supposed to output the box in blue to PDF:
Hi @yewengehoe. I can look into this issue later today. Really sorry that it has taken this long to answer youā¦
Try this solution. You might need to tune the img width to match your page size. Tell me how it goes.
Screenshot locator=CSS:.customer-statements-report-container filename=statement.png
Html To Pdf <img src='statement.png' width='480'/> ${CURDIR}${/}soa.pdfHi! Thanks for reporting. There is this issue that will get fixed sometime in the future:
The PDF file is still wrong if I run the ready-made robot from the Beginnersā Course.
FYI: The PDF generation should work better now.
Hello Guys, Iām currently going thru first LVL training, trying to build āMarias helperā but while I get to PDF generation part I canāt see the created PDF, moreover Iām not able to poit-out the directorry where the PDF should be, what I notice in the log files is that output directorry for the PDF is different than the given as open from> code below:

Hi @limpylemming,
Can you please copy and paste in or attach your conda.yaml and robot.yaml? Based on your error it looks like the output directory in the robot.yaml is being set to the temp folder for this run.
Best,
Tim

I canāt see anything pointing out storage area, I would be glad to know how to manipulate it
Hi Tim, Iāve already pasted requested data, can You take a look & adwise ?
Hi there! If it helps, hereās a tested working robot example of filling an HTML template and saving the output PDF in the ./output directory.
Please pay attention to how I run it with VSCode or rcc (rcc run -t "Unicode HTML To PDF") through my robot.yaml and preparing the env given the conda.yaml (ignore the commented sections).
Let us know how it goes!
