SRT 1.1 PDF Generation Assembly

Competition Task Overview

SRT is a web application used for management of service requests, it consistst of a cloud app and a local app. The cloud app uses Postgres / Oracle database in the backend and the local app uses an h2 database.

In this challenge we need to add / change PDF generation for all 3 paths in the application:

• We provided an example of the PDF we want to see as a result of the new contest. One change to the attached is that we want to see the risk calculation portion split out in to its own section.
• Except for risk calculation portion we mentioned above, the closer that we can get it to look like the attached, the better.
• We need to update the look & feel of SRT 3 path PDF and make sure the risk calculation portion is added to its own section.
• We need to generate this PDF for both the Hybrid and SRT 4 paths, for Hybrid path the PDF should contain info from all relevant sections (both these from SRT 3 path and these from SRT 4 path)
• This challenge requires no changes to the existing pages or data model but only the generated PDF, but as always make sure the changes don't break anything. Example:
  • Make sure data sync still works
  • Make sure no exising features are broken (sync of CRUD should still work)
  • Make sure both local app and cloud app have PDF export working
  • Make sure this is thoroughly tested with Postgres in addition to Oracle
