    Hello PD4ML.NET Support Team,

    I did use the Java sample and tried to display page header and footers in PDF generated using an URL. I did created a Generic approach to use it through out my project and Sending the Responses back to the PDF posted page. I did my best to show the headers/Footers in the generated PDF file and failed. Can you please provide me a Sample code which deals with page headers and footers using .NET?

    I have attached the sample Code files I did use at my End.

    Thanks and Regards,
    VA

    Couldn’t find a place to attach the documents….

    First, get familiar with 3 ways to define of headers/footers:
    html-pdf-faq-f1/pdf-page-headers-footers-definition-options-t41.html

    Please take into account, that some of the methods work with PD4ML Pro only.

    I’ve just added Java samples there: C# .NET code should be more-less identical. Let us know if there are still open questions.

    It is not working that way, As I need to the same from service. All you have provided me in the same is doable from Client side. I did check the link you have provided before I post my question.

    I have a Generic page which takes page URL as a parameter and produce the pdf.
    I will call the Generate PDF method from a page where there is no client side coding is not possible.

    Thanks

    As I wrote, there are some new Java samples there since few minutes ago.

    OK, PD4ML.NET has PD4Converter.aspx.cs sample, which also takes URL as an parameter.

    You need to add to the sample a section like

    [language=java:9g47w3hd]PD4PageMark footer = new PD4PageMark();
    footer.setPageNumberTemplate(“page $[page] of $[total]”);
    footer.setTitleAlignment(PD4PageMark.LEFT_ALIGN);
    footer.setPageNumberAlignment(PD4PageMark.RIGHT_ALIGN);
    footer.setInitialPageNumber(1);
    footer.setPagesToSkip(1);
    footer.setFontSize(14);
    footer.setAreaHeight(18);
    pd4ml.setPageFooter(footer);[/language:9g47w3hd]
    before
    [language=java:9g47w3hd]pd4ml.render(new Uri(inputUrl), outfile);[/language:9g47w3hd]

    Thank you for your response.

    When I do the same as you guided, I am getting below error

    I appreciate your further support in this regard.

    The message tells your application cannot establish a direct HTTP connection with the host. Are you behind a firewall? Don’t you need to define proxy settings?

    #28414

    Nope. It used to work before I added the footer code you have provided me. Thank you.

    #28415

    If I remove the footer code which is above the render page, the link is working as is. It is not giving me any error details.

    All the code currently I am using in my application is posted in one of my previous posts.

    Thank you

    There is a new PD4ML.NET version available for download. Please check if it solves the issue.

    The newer .NET version did not help me with anything. I do see the same problem.
    I couldn’t able to display the Header and footer using PD4ML.NET.

    I need to do this ASAP. Please run a sample in .NET and try to mimic this issue at your end. The current process is taking too much of time and did not solve the issue since long with our discussions.

    I really appreciate if you can consider this an prioritized issue and provide me .NET specific sample with headers, footers, page breaks and some content in it.

    Thanks and Regards,

    > A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 174.143.96.38:80

    Is the PD4ML-enabled application running also on 174.143.96.38?

    I am able to generate the PDF but no header, footers or page breaks even though I did convert the same java code you have provided and tried.

    Please help me to include the missing parts in the current report i am generating.

    Yes…is the answer.

    Will it be easy to talk in live please…instead of spending time in chatting please?
    If needed I can share my environment and show you what i am doping.

    I am under the gun to resolve all the issue and demo it to my end users.

    Hope you can understand my current situation.

    Thanks and Regards.
