Error Messages
Not Applicable.
Steps to Reproduce
1) Create a RD with Display filters using custom section and Display custom section inline enabled.

Resolution
Perform the following local-change steps:
- Customize workform_pyreportingskin.css and pyReport_ExportToPdfStyles.css files for the styles to be applied in the exported PDF.
- Generate the PDF and go through the Stream and tags for the inline filter section.
- Try specifying the styles for these tags inside workform_pyreportingskin.css and pyReport_ExportToPdfStyles.css.
