| Feb 16 at 16:33 | comment | added | Miguel Diaz | @sfdcfox thanks for the suggestion and the resources. I am just getting started with LWCs so sounds like I'd be diving right into the deep end. But I will explore that option. If you can think of any major caveats that a newer developer might run into with this, I would appreciate any tips. Currently my LWC is used in a Lightning Record Page as well as a record detail page in an Experience site. It's hard for me to fully comprehend what I'm reading in those articles, but as best as I can interpret them, I assume using the LWC in those two places would not be a problem. | |

| Feb 15 at 21:02 | comment | added | BritishBoyinDC | I've never found a 'good' solution. The only solution that sort of worked was to pass the data from the LWC to a hidden VF page via the Lightning Message Service, have the VF page build the printable page from the payload using javascript, and either use render as/click to print and have the user choose Print to PDF. But once the data goes over one page, you get into some painful issue in my experience | |
