Hi,

I am facing problem while generating PDf from a JSP page. In one of the website its faster while adding www to the domain name and slower without www. It behaves quite opposite in another website. Don’t know where to fix this issue. Please suggest.

Thanks
Biswajit

As PD4ML does not implement its own TCP/IP layer and relies on the very standard Java networking, I would suspect an issue with network configuration / DNS resolution on your side.

#28782

That would be a little hard to do, since the table is quite complicated and dynamic…

but thanks.

Our company just evaluate PD4ML for our Lotus note PDF conversion solution.
A Java agent produces the PDF file from selected mail, i.e. the java agent runs in background, and then forward mail to others.
However, we have tested example provided shown that the Chinese character can’t be handled and remain a lot of unexpected character in outcome.
Is it related to DXL->HTML XSL stylesheets?
Look forward for your prompt reply.

#28785

Could you please publish a DXL sample you try to convert? Hopefully there is no sensitive info in it.

What I am seeing is that as soon as the image is encountered, the page stops rendering at that point. Any data after the image is not seen on the page. It might be a 7 page PDF, but you only see the first 2 pages, for example.

Also, the URL on the server that fails is using SSL, so that might have something to do with it as well.

Hi,

Is there any way of not applying Insets to the first page? The front page of the PDF I’m generating, has a a background image that should start at the very top of the page. But the rest of page should have a top margin.

Thanks

Hi ,
I have a requirement to generate pdf files daily and to display dynamically with the current date every time the PDF is opened.Currently we are able to generate pdf files from html templates using pd4ml.
I want to embed javascript in the pdf which displays the current date whenever customer opens the pdf file . Is there any way to do this at the pdf creation time
( similar to permissions)? If pd4ml doesnt support javascript then please let me know how can we accompalish this. I have an idea of creating form field and add javascript to that form field but couldnt able to do this.

The feature is going to be supported with the next PD4ML release expected in few days.

#28769

In few days we plan to release a new PD4ML version which addresses the issues. Below are our comments:

> I am not able to control the height of header/footer.
Unfortunately RTF format does not allow to control header/footer height. I would recommend to define header/footer as a table, with an explicitly given height matches the desired header/footer height.

> Also I am not able to use multiple headers/footers – it seems that the last used will be on all pages regardless.
> Looking at the RFT spec, the format seems rather limited, but I see that it is possible to have a different
> footer/header on the first page (headerf) which I would assume is the most common need.
You are right, it is possible to define a different page header/footer for a title page only. In the new version you may define such header/footer that way:

PD4PageMark header = new PD4PageMark() {
@Override
public String getHtmlTemplate(int pageNumber) {
if ( pageNumber == 1 ) {
return "<b>Title page. $[title]</b>";
}
return super.getHtmlTemplate();
}
};
header.setHtmlTemplate("Page $[page]");
pd4ml.setPageHeader(header);

Unfortunately there is still no way to define title page header/footer with <pd4ml:page.header> tag.

> I am not able to control any margins. Looking at the generated RTF, page margins are printed out,
> but is it a way to control this in the template, e.g. through the body?

Now you may define margins via API call
pd4ml.setPageInsets(new Insets(20,40,20,20));
via margin CSS property of <body> element or combined. CSS way does not impact page header/footer positioning, the API call does.

> Unwanted line breaks
We suppressed the line breaks were it was possible.
Note: RTF tables do not allow to define top and bottom margins. If HTML source defines the margins, PDF output blank lines instead of them.

#28783

We’ve just fixed the text background issue, always worked in our environment.
The updated version is going to be released in few days.

#28753

Perhaps my question was too complicated.

The real question is:
Has anybody successfully created .pdfs from .jspx files and Apache Tiles?
If so please post an example, it would be greatly appreciated.

I can’t get pd4ml:transform to work with enable=false, only with enable=true.

With enabled=false I get the ‘outputstream already called’ error

Thank you for your time.

#28754

Could you please publish a sample of your .jspx page?

#28787

Currently the feature is not supported.

We’ll investigate today if PD4ML architecture would allow to embed JavaScript to generated PDFs in principle.
