### Customization Options
By default, the **Generate PDF** UI Action will have a **Script** similar to below:
```javascript
function renderModal() {
var pdfModal = new YansaPDFUI();
pdfModal.setSourceTable('sys_user');
pdfModal.render();
}
```
There are a number of methods on the **YansaPDFUI** object (in this example, 'pdfModal') that you may use to customize the behavior of the wizard.
Customize the **Select Template** step:
* **pdfModal.setSelectStepDisplay(flag: boolean):** Show/hide the first 'Select template' step. Otherwise, template must be pre-set *\[default: true]*
* **pdfModal.setPDFTemplate(sysId: string)**: Preset the selected template
* **pdfModal.setPDFTemplateReadOnly(flag: boolean):** Display the 'Select template' step, but enable/disable it as read-only *\[default: false]*
* **pdfModal.setPDFTemplateDisplay(flag: boolean):** Display the 'Select template' step, but show/hide the select box *\[default: true]*
Customize the **Merge Data** step:
* **pdfModal.setMergeStepDisplay(flag: boolean):** Show/hide the second 'Merge data into PDF' step. Otherwise, data source/record must be pre-set *\[default: true]*
* **pdfModal.setSourceTable(tableName: string, includeExtensions: boolean):** Set the source table for merge data
* **pdfModal.setSourceRecord(tableName: string, sysId: string):** Set the source table & record for merge data
* **pdfModal.setMergeReadOnly(flag: boolean):** Enable/disable the 'Merge data into PDF' step as read-only *\[default: false]*
* **pdfModal.setPDFDataSource(sysId: string):** Set data source for merge data. *(Note: Only applies to label printing)*
Customize the **Edit PDF** step:
{% hint style="info" %}
An optional 'Edit' step can be enabled wherein the content of the merged PDF document can be changed prior to the save/download step. This can be useful for situations where customization of the merged template is needed prior to finalization.
{% endhint %}
* **pdfModal.enableEdit():** Enable editing the merged PDF document prior to save/download *\[default: false]*
Customize the **Save PDF** step:
* **pdfModal.setSaveStepDisplay(flag: boolean):** Show/hide the third 'Save PDF' step *\[default: true]*
* **pdfModal.disableDownload():** Disable the 'Download' option *\[default: false]*
* **pdfModal.enableSaveToCurrent(tableName?: string, sysId?: string):** Enable the 'Attach to current' option. If you provide a table/sysId, it will save to that target record. Otherwise, it saves to current record *\[default: false]*
To reload form on-close of the wizard (to display new attachments, for example), include the following at the bottom of your UI Action script:
