We can use UserInfo.UITheme() and UserInfo.UIThemeDisplayed() in Apex class to determine User Experience Theme.

UserInfo.UITheme() : Returns the theme that is supposed to be used.
UserInfo.UIThemeDisplayed() : Returns the theme that is actually being used.

UserInfo.UITheme() and UserInfo.UIThemeDisplayed() will return following values.

  • Theme1—Obsolete Salesforce theme
  • Theme2—Salesforce Classic 2005 user interface theme
  • Theme3—Salesforce Classic 2010 user interface theme
  • Theme4d—Modern “Lightning Experience” Salesforce theme
  • Theme4t—Salesforce mobile app theme
  • Theme4u—Lightning Console theme
  • PortalDefault—Salesforce Customer Portal theme
  • Webstore—Salesforce AppExchange theme

Sample Code:

String themeDisplayedType = UserInfo.getUIThemeDisplayed();
String themeType = UserInfo.getUITheme();

Visualforce Page Render As Advanced PDF

Biswajeet   October 1, 2018   No Comments on Visualforce Page Render As Advanced PDF
  • Advanced PDF renders Visualforce pages as PDF files with broader support for modern HTML standards, such as CSS3, JavaScript, and HTML5.
  • To use Advanced PDF, set renderAs="advanced_pdf" in the apex:page tag of a Visualforce page with API version 40.0 or later.
  • Advanced PDF supports in both Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic.
  • It is similar to the existing process for rendering a Visualforce page as a standard PDF file.

Example:

<apex:page readOnly="true"
           standardController="Account"    
           applyHtmlTag="false"     
           sidebar="false"     
           showHeader="false"     
           cache="true"     
           renderAs="advanced_pdf"
           docType="html-5.0">
    <head>    
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />    
        <style type="text/css">
            @page {
            size: A4 landscape;    
            border: 1px solid black;    
            padding-left: 5px;    
            padding-right: 5px;      
            }
            th {  
            font-weight: bold;
            text-align: center;
            background-color: #92d5f0;
            color: black;
            padding: 8px;
            }
            td {    
            font-size: 15px;
            text-align: left;
            padding: 8px;
            }
            table{
            border-collapse: collapse;
            }
            table, th, td {
            border: 1px solid black;
            }
        </style>    
    </head>    
    <center>    
        <h3>{!Account.Name}</h3>    
    </center>    
    <table width="100%">    
        <tr>
            <th>Name</th>    
            <th>Phone</th>
            <th>Email</th> 
        </tr>    
        <apex:repeat value="{!Account.Contacts}" var="con">    
            <tr>                
                <td>{!con.Name}</td>    
                <td>{!con.Phone}</td>
                <td>{!con.Email}</td>    
            </tr>
