Creates a style for defining properties such font size, border, and alignment. You can apply the same style to multiple objects simultaneously.

This API is part of the ServiceNow PDF
Generation Utilities plugin (com.snc.apppdfgenerator) and is provided within the
`sn_pdfgeneratorutils` namespace. The plugin is activated by default.

This API is a component used with the [Document API](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/oJ48cUW_0DIZl2sK2PI~9A#DocumentBothAPI "The Document API provides methods to initialize a PDF, add content, and close the PDF. After adding content, the document can be attached to a target record.") to generate a
PDF.  
You can apply custom styles to the following API elements:

* [Cell](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/uii5Qv66Cr~ri3bGB3uEvw#Cell-addStyle_O "Applies a predefined style to table cells.")
* [Paragraph](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/F66I_9eaQar0UBmo_g7irw#Paragraph-addStyle_O "Applies a predefined style to paragraph text.")
* [Table](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/IaWzvxiBPOHtuTwBsfUUOg#Table-setDefaultStyle_O "Sets the default style to apply to the table.")
