Created a new Custom print layout (HTML & CSS) on the screen and printed the PDF button the layout shows differently, showing only 50% of the data on the screen. screen and print margins are showing differently. How to make 3 format same.
This happens because the screen preview uses the browser’s view, but the PDF is made with wkhtmltopdf, which can handle HTML and CSS differently. So, it’s tricky to make them exactly the same. Adjusting the CSS to be more compatible with wkhtmltopdf and using print-specific styles can help, but perfect consistency is hard to achieve.
