Today I'm going to present a simple trick "How to customize reports through CSS in PDF format".

But first of all, all files mentioned in this article have to be backed-up before editing.

When run a report we can choose 3 modes:

• Screen (HTML)
• Export to PDF
• Excel to XLSX/Excel CSV/CSV

This covers the settings that control the look and feel of a report when we select "Export to PDF".

Below I present part of the theme file ergonomic.css with reports themes which can be found in the following directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Sage\CRM\[instancename]\WWWRoot\Themes

Below this code I'll present a screen shot which will show which property is used for which part of the report.

If we want our changes to take affect we have to restart IIS.
