I’m using pd4ml as a converter on the command line, passing it ordinary HTML pages. I figured out using the pd4ml:page.break tag to control page size and orientation. Is there a way to control page orientation and formatting without using JSP, and without forcing a page break?

Works for me with € and UTF-8 encoding.

#27455

try € in html it works

Ok thank you,

For my use, 2 is too wide and looks too strong.

Your suggestions were extremely helpful.

As it turns out, the issue was a combination of bad path information and the white space between some of the servlet parameters. Once thoses issues were resolved, PD4ML was able to resolve the chart image (which was PNG). It complained about there being an excess number of colours and then reformatted the image, but it now shows up in the PDF. Here is the new debug info:

image not yet in cache: https://xxxxxxPieChartServlet?Title=May+30%2C+2003&points=2.5%2CCASH%7E1.6%2CMM+FUND%7E71.7%2CFIXED%7E24.2%2CMUTUAL

image size: 5795

can not embed https://xxxxxxPieChartServlet?Title=May+30%2C+2003&points=2.5%2CCASH%7E1.6%2CMM+FUND%7E71.7%2CFIXED%7E24.2%2CMUTUAL. PNG should not have more than 256 colors. Reformatting image…done in 5592ms.
PDF creation done.

Thanks a whole bunch for your help!!

Do you think we may be having problems because we’re streaming text into pd4ml instead of reading from a file? The stylesheet is linked via a tag in the actual HTML we stream. Should I use the API instead and add the stylesheet that way?

Are there any known issues with CSS and streaming the content instead of reading from a file?

Hi,
I’m a korean software programmer and one of your library users.
I have a problem that I can’t see the Korean characters when I using demo version of pd4ml java library.
is it because of demo version?
please reply to me as soon as possile.
thank you.

Yes it was that, the spaces in the image path can not be resoved by pd4ml. Thanks

One more question, is there a way to autofit an image according to the pdf? I mean when I hace the img tag and it doesn’t specify a size, the image in the pdf is bigger or seems strange. So, is it possible or a way to autofit the image according to the PDF size?

#27357

Ok, here are more details:
It is a Java application. JDK 1.4.

The process is writing the HTML in a path, then the HTML is read from the path to write the PDF in the same path. Ex:

File fz = new File(path+filename); //HTML to read
java.io.FileInputStream fis = new java.io.FileInputStream(fz);
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader( fis );

The images are being rendered correctly in most cases, but for example when I mix different kind of images (jpg, png, gif) in the HTML to export, then the last kind of image fails, when the ssame image in the same path can be rendered when it is the only image.
Here is the output of pd4ml on debug mode:

On the last lines there is a message that an image can not be loaded. But I copy that URL to the browser and the image can be reached with out problem.

If you need some more information please let me know. Thanks for the help.

#27329

OK, more information…

The problem is an img tag with style information.

The website docs say img style, left and top are all supported (e.g. since v350)
The trial 3.50 version I have has docs that say that left and top are not supported at all.

Which is it?
Is the trial download not the 3.5 version?
If not, can we get a trial version which is?
If it is, why isn’t this working?

thanks!

I have this error (sometimes) when i use PD4ML with Tomcat 5.5.26 server.
How can i fix it?

Regards

#27326

We removed the https reference from our html and looks OK now. But my concern here is PD4ML is looping and never terminating if any of the resource is not found (like img) or the connection delay is too long.
