Sorry for the delay, I hadn’t gone to sleep, I was on holiday.
Thanks for your continuing help.

The following command produced a nice pdf:

java -Xmx512m -Djava.awt.headless=true -cp ./pd4ml.jar Pd4Cmd 'https://pd4ml.com' 1200 LETTER -bookmarks HEADINGS -pdfforms -debug -out /tmp/pd4ml.pdf

The only question is: why doesn’t it produce anything from Tomcat6 (which is also headless)? We get nothing from either API calls or tags

#29002

It works.
Thanks for quick replay.

Kind regards,
Gabriel

My colleague who also has just installed Lion has the same problem, exactly the same.

I have tried updating to 3.8.0fx4 but it made no difference.

#28952

Ok, tried the Progress Meter

This is all I get, I’m afraid:

0 0 conversion begin

#28985

Many many many thanks!!!! That helped. This was exactly the problem.

Best regards,
Michael

P.S. There have never been any messages at all in my Tomcat stdout and stderr logs. Complete silence. And any calls to pd4ml just hang forever, without timeout.

My Lion update was quick and practically painless, which was perhaps too good to be true. I’ve had no problems at all with any other programmes.

Presumably something is missing, however. PD4ML doesn’t depend on any system graphics does it?

#28949

Thanks for your help.

I’ve been trying to run the command-line pd4ml class but whatever I do I get:
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/Applications/Preview.app": error=13, Permission denied

I’ve created a folder with completely open permissions to everyone, and I run the pd4ml class from there.
I also changed the permissions for the Mac preview app so that it has permissions to be run by any user.

The pd4ml class will open and show my simple html file when I press GO.
But will not create a .pdf when I press PDF – for the reason shown above.

#28944

Please help, someone.

Presumably something is simply missing, but there are no log messages at all to give an idea. Probably the Lion idea is a red herring.
I did a complete reinstall of Snow Leopard a couple of weeks before updating to Lion and it may have happened then.

Here’s a very simple test below. The code is correct, of that I’m certain.
The debug just prints out “version: PD4ML 380 Pro” and then it all hangs….

All the correct .jars are on the classpath- I currently have:
pd4ml-3.8.0.jar
pd4mlDefaultFonts-1.0.jar
ss_css2.jar
pd4ml_tl.jar

Any help would be very gratefully received.

hi,

thanks for the reply I am using the following php code below

$var = "java_path -Xmx512m -Djava.awt.headless=true -cp jar_path Pd4Cmd html_path 800 A4";

passthru($var);

the pdf is created but when we try to open it, there is no content just a blank/white space.

this happen when we try to generate a pdf from the html in our domain where the pd4ml files is also hosted, but if I try to change the html using from other domain it works.

#28977

Hi,
Thanks for your help.
I tried this , but it is not working for some reason
here is my code

java.io.FileOutputStream fos = new java.io.FileOutputStream(outputPDFFile);
PD4ML pd4ml = new PD4ML();
pd4ml.setPageInsets(new Insets(0, 0, 0, 0));
pd4ml.setHtmlWidth(950);
pd4ml.setPageSize(pd4ml.changePageOrientation(format)); // landscape page orientation
pd4ml.setPageSize(format); // portrait page orientation
pd4ml.useTTF("java:fonts", true);
pd4ml.setDefaultTTFs("Times New Roman", "Arial", "Courier New");
if ( headerBody != null && headerBody.length() > 0 ) {
PD4PageMark header = new PD4PageMark();
header.setAreaHeight( -1 ); // autocompute
header.setHtmlTemplate( headerBody ); // autocompute
pd4ml.setPageHeader( header );
}
pd4ml.enableDebugInfo();
pd4ml.render("file:" + inputHTMLFileName, fos);
if(fos!=null){
outputPDFFile = null;
fos.close();
}

Please suggest me any other solution.
Thanks

The JDK works fine, I use it for Tomcat, Spring and work with it as usual. It’s also been updated automatically a couple of times since I got Lion.

#28945

Could it be a 64-Bit issue?

#28940

Here is HTML file I was use for test

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<select id="S1" name="S1">
<option value="Item1" selected="selected">Item1</option>
<option value="Item2">Item2</option>
<option value="Item3">Item3</option>
<option value="Item4">Item4</option>
</select>

Text Box
<input id="ia1" size="16" name="ia1" />


<input style="visibility:visible;" id="C1" value="Yes" type="checkbox" name="C1" />Check 1
<input id="C2" value="Yes" type="checkbox" name="C2" />Check 2
<input id="C3" value="Yes" type="checkbox" name="C3" />Check 3


<input id="R1" value="1" checked="checked" type="radio" name="G" />R1
<input id="R2" value="2" type="radio" name="G" />R2
<input id="R3" value="3" type="radio" name="G" />R3


<textarea style="width: 364px; height: 77px; overflow: hidden" id="TA" rows="4" cols="43"
name="TA"></textarea>

</body>
</html>

#28920
