I suggest to start with simple HTML and learn how to structure the HTML to make it work in PDF. You cannot just throw any HTML code into it.

Use tables instead of CSS grid/flex in your HTML template; Appian’s PDF renderer doesn’t handle modern layout well, so build the briefing note with nested <table> columns and inline CSS for reliable PDF alignment.
Set fixed widths in pixels and use <table> tags with cellpadding/cellspacing for reliable grid rendering.
