Thanks for your help!

Did that already, din’t help much, some text started appearing in bold, and some in Italic randomly, not the o/p we expected. I put that way with the backslashes deliberately ‘coz I thought the script considered the exact font-name “as is” in the properties file – desperate measure – but din’t work out!

Please if someone can help us with this; we are really looking forward to buying the paid version.

1st of May would be ok 🙂 We would not need it sooner.

Thanks.

Forget about it. The table was to small.

Problem solved.

#27994

Thanks. I was sure I had tried that, but I guess I must not have.

I’ve been able to the use CCS style for Arabic:

text-align: right;

Although I have been having issues with the table of contents when working with true type fonts.

#28088

I’ve paid fro a Pro license. Could I get a response to this please?

Please share us the details of method for local caching, can we specify the location for caching.

#28082

thanks, the fonts are working now that I put in the full path to the jre/libs/fonts folder. rtfm.

However the footer is still problematic. With this source code:

footer.setPagesToSkip(2);
footer.setAreaHeight( 50 );
footer.setHtmlTemplate("<b>Footer test</b><br>" + "${page} of ${total}" );

What happens is the htmltemplate does skip the first 2 pages but the area height does not.

I want to fill up the entire page with a graphic in the first 2 pages and then only from pages 3 onwards must the footer area height be set. Is this possible?

Either that or can I create a separate footer for the first 2 pages which I will fill up with a graphic?

I believe I am having a similar problem. All of my images are pixelated. Did you/anyone find a fix for this?

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

#28063

I’m having the same problem. Will you please give details on where you used absolute paths? Thanks.

#28062

Finally.

using useServletContext() and absolute paths resolved my issues.

#28060

Any resolution to this? I’m having the exact same problem today.

I’ve had success in the past using the JSP transform tag and it handled all references to CSS perfectly. But now, I’m trying to solve a problem that requires that I perform programmatic conversion of an HTML string in the same manner stated by the original poster and no matter what I try my CSS is ignored.

These are the things that I have tried:

1) Used the pd4ml.addStyle(<url>,true), where <url> was a fully qualified path to the resource. Debugging showed that the css resource was found and brought into the cache, yet the styles were not applied.

2) Used the pd4ml.addStyle(<String>, true), where <string> held all of the styles in my CSS file. Styles were not applied.

3) Included a stylesheet link tag in the head element of my HTML string with a fully qualified path to the CSS resource. Again, debug says that the css was found and brought into the cache, but styles were not applied.

Steph.

Thanks for your help PD4ML.

I followed your instructions and am now passing the base URL to the render method. I also have debugging turned on. BTW, I am using the Pro version.

Now when I do the conversion I get the following in the logs:

version: PD4ML 351 Pro
loading CSS file http://<someURL>/css.css
not yet in cache: http://<someURL>/css.css
image not yet in cache: http://<someURL>/images/<imagePath.image.gif>
not yet in cache: http://<someURL>/images/<imagePath.image.gif>

image size: 391
done in 1938ms.

These logs would seem to me that everything was a success but the rendered PDF still doesn’t have the styles applied.

There are also inline styles applied plus the CSS file. Is this disabling the application of the styles?

Thanks for any help with this.

I think this is an issue of DPI. PD4ML seems to increase the image size by about 20%.

What DPI does PD4ML render at?

If I know that, I can potentially specify a smaller-than-normal height and width for the images in my image tags, so they render properly.

To test this, try rendering any image and you will notice it’s larger on the PDF than on the web page, causing it to be pixelated.
Like so:

(Haven’t tried it without the width/height specified – could that be the cause?)
