body background-color vs. background-image

#26445

I´ve got an PDF, where I´d like to give a full Image as Background. I tried many ways, but I couldn´t find a suitable solution. So I decited, to split the Image up in 3 parts. one for the header, one for the “flowing” and one for the footer. It seems pretty nice so far, but when I try to put the “flowing” image in the body, I got an white space by about 1cm. If I remove the image and take only a color, the white space is gone!

Any suggestions?

You may define a page background this way:

PD4PageMark footer = new PD4PageMark();
footer.setPageBackgroundImageUrl("http://server/img/background.jpeg");
pd4ml.setPageFooter(footer);

It will stretch the image to cover the choosen paper format, so it makes sense to prepare a background image whose aspect ratio is identical to the format.

I´d like to thank you, for the quick answer. It works perfect. 🙂

public class Pd4Php {

private String image_url;
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
...
Pd4Php converter = new Pd4Php();
converter.generatePDF( args[0], args[1], args[2], args[3], args.length > 4 ? args[4] : null );
// give an additional argument to the command line
}
private void generatePDF(String inputUrl, String htmlWidth, String pageFormat, String fontsDir, String imageUrl)
{ // an additional String imageUrl
if(imageUrl != null)
{
PD4PageMark footer = new PD4PageMark();
footer.setPageBackgroundImageUrl(imageUrl);
pd4ml.setPageFooter(footer);
}
}

In your PHP Code you need to add the following:

passthru('java -Xmx512m -Djava.awt.headless=true -cp .:pd4ml_demo.jar Pd4Php '' . $_POST .
'' 800 A4 $_POST 2>&1');
