Meggan Landis 2 Using apex:detail in a visualforce page, can you replicate the layout?
Hi all,
I have a button that generates and attached (to notes and attachments) a pdf version of a custom object I have called PreAdmission. Generally, the process is working - it's taking all fields from this object, adding them to a pdf and attaching that pdf as I want it to, but the issue I have is that the formatting on the pdf is awful. All of the fields are jumbled together, and it's difficult to read because of the spacing. I need to include apex:detail so it includes all fields (there are a ton so I don't want to have to add them individually), but is there any way to replicate the existing page layout of the object. I basically want the pdf to look exactly as it would if I would use the 'Printable View' option. The code I have on the visualforce page I am using is below. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
<apex:page standardController="Pre_Admission__c" renderAs="pdf"> <apex:detail subject="
{!Pre_Admission__c.Id}" relatedList="false" title="false"/>
</apex:page>
