Static resources breaks in Visual Force Page rendered as PDF after changing a file inside the zip and re-uploading

 

I downloaded a working Static Resource used by a VF page and change an image, compressed the folder and re-upload again and ended-up with a not working VF page. None of the images were loading and the css not being applied.

 

I compared with other static resources and noticed a difference in the MIME type of file uploaded file.

The type of my re-uploaded zip file shows as "application/zip" vs the others showing as "application/x-zip-compressed". After many, but many posts reading, I realised this is not the root of the problem

 

Solution: When compressing the file, the individual folders inside the zip needs to be selected and compressed; whereas compressing the whole folder adds an extra folder to the path, breaking the link to the static resource from the VF page, eg.:

  • "myStaticResources.zip/myStaticResources/styles/style.css" instead of
  • "myStaticResources.zip/styles/style.css"

So the formula in the VF page: "{!URLFOR($Resource.myStaticResources, '/styles/style.css')}" won't work

Question:-  How can we apply SLDS and custom CSS to a Visualforce page that is rendered as a PDF?

 

Solution:-

 

To use any standard or custom style on the Visualforce page, we need to download the style sheet file and upload it as a static resource. Then we can import the file into the Visualforce page using the <apex:stylesheet > tag.

 

SLDS and custom CSS are uploaded in the static resource.

<apex:page  renderAs="pdf" docType="html-5.0">
    <apex:stylesheet value="{!$Resource.sldsCss}" />
    <apex:stylesheet value="{!$Resource.customCSS}" />
</apex:page>
