Dear Support,
We raised a ticket HELPD-249 for Performance degradation when migrated from PD4ML 3.x to 4.x on 10th of Feb 2021.
We didn’t receive any resolution on this ticket.
Are we missing any details to simulate the issue?
Can you explain why there is a delay or any immediate work around to resolve this issue?

Below is the summary from the original mail sent to the support.
The same HTML input file was used to simulate the following tests with different versions of pd4ml

Command line results:
110.67s for 4.0.9fx4-SNAPSHOT
173.83s for pd4ml4.0.9fx3
29.52s for pd4ml3.10.5

Test from java code:
43.48s for 4.0.9fx4-SNAPSHOT
67.85s for pd4ml4.0.9fx3
38.15s for pd4ml3.10.5

On an average, we see pd4ml 4.x version takes 2x more time when compared with 3.x

Hi!
The test document you send us to illustrate HELPD-249 hits performance limits of our CSS cascading engine (complex CSS constructs need to be applied to a big document). PD4ML v3 had a simplified support of CSS selectors, so quite a lot of CSS rules were silently omitted – that explains the performance degradation.
As you see, we’ve already done some CSS engine optimization (4.0.9fx4 vs. 4.0.9fx3). But a more serious CSS cascading logic revision on architectural level is planned to v4.1.x. We returned to work on v4.1.0 few weeks ago.

Today I upgraded to the “pro” version of PD4ML, but “My Licenses” page says I have the PD4ML UA “Test product”? Also, the Activation Key provided gives me an error when using version v4.0.9-SNAPSHOT. My old activation key works fine.

Hello,

I am using v4.0.9fx5 to convert HTML documents to PDF.

Documents have footer with page number using “$[page]”. Unfortunately page number upper than 9 are not full. Only the first digit is print -eg “1” instead of “10”, “11” or “101”.

I tried to use “$[page]/$[total]” but I still have a strange print. Anyway I would like to use “$[page]” on my final print.

Any help is welcome.

Thanks.

Note 1: I am upgrading from v4.0.8 and it worked well using this version.
Note 2: The attachment is a example of my trouble. I try without css and with. First line is “$[page]” and second is “$[page]/$[total]”

I am using the command line java version. I do not want to put the .lic file in the working directory, could I provide a path to the command or just paste the code into the command?

#34495

Having the same issue with pd4ml 4.0.9fx5. Any update on it?

Hello,

We are looking at possibility to highlight snippets of text in PDF file. Having quickly reviewed api and documentation, I didn’t find methods in pd4ml to do this. But probably I missed that, or there are plans to add this feature soon?

Thanks,
Nina Birych

Hi,

Unlike to PD4ML V3, the html tags contained in the dynamic data are not interpreted anymore in V4

map.put("var1", "<p>Data in a paragraph</p>"); pd4ml.setDynamicParams(map);

PD4ML V3 result :
Data in a paragraph

PD4ML V4 result :
<p>Data in a paragraph</p>

Is there a way to interpret html tags in dynamic parameters ?

Thanks

Same – tried creating a post twice – super frustrating

#34549

This is my third attempt to post a topic. My previous two attempts were simply swallowed whole by this forum, and despite no error message being generated, no topic was actually created. My post includes 4 attachments (2 images, 2 CSS files).

#34554

attempting to attach anything at all
