PDF Styling Problems

#26818

Hi,

I’m having trouble with the styling of a PDF I generate from HTML.
When I save the HTML as a file and open it in a browser, it looks good . On the other hand, The PDF that I generate from this HTML string doesn’t look good (mostly in terms of fonts, padding, alignment etc.).
I believe that I’m not using any special styling in my HTML page.
Where can be a good starting point to find out what’s causing my PDF not to look good?

Thanks,
Ziv

Just publish a sample of your docs here or send to support pd4ml com – we’ll check what is wrong with it.

What exactly do you want me to publish? HTML? PDF?

I tried sending an email to support@pd4ml.com before posting here, but the mail bounced…

HTML, of course. Or both HTML and PDF.

Is the email bounced by our or your mail server?

#29231

The email bounced at your side.

I’ve attached the HTML that I render.

Thanks.

I would suspect the following stylesheets does not load:
[language=java:1tfbau9i] [/language:1tfbau9i]

In order to analyze a reason of that, try to enable debug info (pd4ml.enableDebugInfo()) and inspect STDOUT/server’s log

The only thing I’m getting regarding the CSS files in debug is the following lines:
version: PD4ML 371b15 Pro
new parse attempt with: UTF8
loading CSS file http://localhost:30303/logeye/css/mainproduct.css?buildNumber=3500
not yet in cache: http://localhost:30303/logeye/css/mainproduct.css?buildNumber=3500
loading CSS file http://localhost:30303/logeye/css/components.css?buildNumber=3500
not yet in cache: http://localhost:30303/logeye/css/components.css?buildNumber=3500
loading CSS file http://localhost:30303/logeye/css/search.css?buildNumber=3500
not yet in cache: http://localhost:30303/logeye/css/search.css?buildNumber=3500

Keep in mind that I do have formatting from the CSS present in the PDF (colors for example). Most of my problems are related to padding and positioning.

Is there an option to hold a short WebEx session to try and isolate the problem?

Thanks.

Without the styles the HTML appears as a number of text portions, placed to cells of a borderless table. There is no easy way to analyse a correctness of positioning and paddings.

As I see you use a relatively old version of PD4ML. Give a try to the most recent v381 – probably the issues, you faced with, are already solved.
