PDF page headers/footers definition options

#27280

Which PD4ML version do you currently use? It can be checked in Document properties of any PDF, generated with the library.

#27281

I’m using the PRO version.

#27282

I’m trying to do somthing similar this:

PD4PageMark header= new PD4PageMark();
header.setHtmlTemplate("<font color="red"><i>page $[page] of $[total]</i></font>");
header.setAreaHeight(-1);
pd4ml.setPageHeader(header);


PD4PageMark footer = new PD4PageMark();
footer.setHtmlTemplate("<font color="red"><i>page $[page] of $[total]</i></font>");
footer.setAreaHeight(-1);
pd4ml.setPageFooter(footer);

But the pd4ml doesn’t render the footer.

Nobody can help me?

And which version number?

#27285

Try to temporarily set the height parameter to any defined value:
footer.setAreaHeight(50);
Does it change anything?

#27286

I need to use scope in headers’/footers’ settings thought java API.
After read PD4ML API reference and some samples, I noticed that there isn’t a method to set the scope attribute.
Is it possivel?

There is a number of header-definition methods:
https://pd4ml.com/cookbook/pdf_header_footer_generation.htm

With Java API you may either merge header definition like <pd4ml:page.header scope="2+"> with HTML content (the header definition needs to be before opening <html> tag) or to customize PD4PageMark instance;

PD4PageMark header = new PD4PageMark() {
public String getHtmlTemplate(int pageNumber) {
if ( pageNumber > 1 ) {
return "<html><body>some document header stuff...";
} else {
return "";
}
}
};
pd4ml.setPageHeader(header);

Hi

I am evaluating pd4ml. Do headers/footers work with the evaulation version? Here is my code:

File pdf = new File("/tmp/test.pdf");

PD4ML pd4ml = new PD4ML();

try (java.io.FileOutputStream fos = new java.io.FileOutputStream(pdf))
{
{
PD4PageMark header = new PD4PageMark();
header.setHtmlTemplate("<font color="red"><i>header $[page] of $[total]</i></font><br>");
header.setAreaHeight(50);
pd4ml.setPageHeader(header);
}
{
PD4PageMark footer = new PD4PageMark();
footer.setHtmlTemplate("<font color="red"><i>footer $[page] of $[total]</i></font><br>");
footer.setAreaHeight(50);
pd4ml.setPageHeader(footer);
}
pd4ml.enableDebugInfo();
pd4ml.render(new StringReader("<html><body>BODY<pd4ml:page.break/>BODY2<pd4ml:page.break/>BODY3</body></html>"), fos);
}

This is the version: version: PD4ML 385 (eval)

The PDF doc has 3 pages, the evaluation version thing is there in the footer but nothing else appears in the header or the footer area. Can you please advise what I am doing wrong?

Thank you,
Jozsef

HTML header/footer templates are supported by PD4ML Pro (and derived volume licenses). As I see you evaluate PD4ML Std, which provides support for text-only header/footer.

See https://pd4ml.com/cookbook/pdf_header_footer_generation.htm

Okay that looks like a bigger problem then estimated.

I have the same issue too.

I generate a complete header and footer.

Footer:

<pd4ml:page.footer scope="1">
<div style="background-color:red;">
<p style="" class="" id=""><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> 

<table align="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Inhaber:</td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td>Max Mustermann</td>
<td>Straße 1</td>
<td>Undso weiter</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>


</div>
</pd4ml:page.footer>

The footer is their (yeah) BUT! 🙁 I can only see Inhaber at the bottom of the page and also head footer is VERY high. I mean 1/2 of A4

On the other hand, the header is shown very accurate.

The complete html code here:

<pd4ml:page.header scope="1">
<div style="width:100%;background-color:yellow;">
<div>
<img class="" id="" style="width:100mm;max-width:100mm;margin-left:10cm;" src="data:image/*;base64,....">


</div>
</div>
</pd4ml:page.header><pd4ml:page.footer scope="1">
<div style="background-color:red;">
<p style="" class="" id=""><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> 

<table align="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Inhaber:</td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td>Max Mustermann</td>
<td>Straße 1</td>
<td>Undso weiter</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>


</div>
</pd4ml:page.footer><html>

The version I am using is 3.9.8fx3 Pro

Any Idea?

Sorry I think I found MY mistake

#27294

Hai everyone, how to implement this java code below into cfscript?

PD4PageMark footer = new PD4PageMark() {
public String getHtmlTemplate(int pageNumber) {
if ( pageNumber % 2 == 0 ) {
return "<html><body>some left aligned stuff...";
} else {
return "<html><body>some right aligned stuff...";
}
}
};
pd4ml.setPageFooter(footer);
