Hi! PD4ML_ABSOLUTE_ADDRESS_SPACE=document forced older versions of PD4ML to ignore impact of page breaks on the vertical coordinate axis.
Let’s say you have an image absolutely positioned at y=200px and it still fits the first page of the document, and in your document there is a forced page break at 100px.
With PD4ML_ABSOLUTE_ADDRESS_SPACE=document the image was placed still on the first page, but regular flow content with y>100px went to the next.
With PD4ML_ABSOLUTE_ADDRESS_SPACE=page the image was placed on the next page as the regular flow content with y>100px.

The option is not supported by v4 (until a customer request). The current behavior matches PD4ML_ABSOLUTE_ADDRESS_SPACE=page

Hello! If, in the described scenario, technical support requests will come from only one division of the company that developed the product, then a SITE license is sufficient.

If selling affiliates/partners will also be requesting support directly (or forwarding requests from end users), then you will need an ENTERPRISE

The latest v4.0.15fx2 snapshot build adds a new landscape option for convenience to change the page orientation without rotating the header and footer: <pd4ml:page.break pageFormat="A4,landscape">

#35650

Hi! I assume you rotate the page layout with

<pd4ml:page.break pageFormat="rotate">
...
<pd4ml:page.break pageFormat="reset">

To prevent the headers and footers from rotating, you do not need to rotate the page layout, but simply change the page format to landscape. Unfortunately, for the time being this is only possible if you specify explicit dimensions in points. For example, landscape format A4:
<pd4ml:page.break pageFormat="842x595">

Please ignore the message. In PDF/A-b generation scenarios (when all used fonts have to be embedded to the resulting PDF and a usage of built-in Acrobat’s Type1 fonts is not allowed), java:/defaultfonts points to a fallback font source. Usually the fonts are in pd4ml_rc.jar. If you’ve got all fonts in your /fonts folder, even PDF/A generation does not need java:/defaultfonts.

The invalid error message is to be suppressed in newer builds.

Hi! As I can see the request came from a dummy email address and the notifications cannot reach your mailbox. Please contact support @ pd4ml com and we’ll update your profile with the right email.

The API call PD4ML.useTTF(pathToFontDirs, generateFontMappingFileIfMissing) is rather a quick hack for a missing font mapping info and it is not recommended for a prod use.

It’s much better to generate the pd4fonts.properties mapping once and include it in your project.

There are various methods how to configure/include fonts. See https://pd4ml.com/pdf-fonts/.

If you’ve got a limited access to the file system, it is good idea to collect fonts to a fonts/ dir, generate pd4fonts.properties for it and to pack the fonts incl. the .properties to a JAR. Once the JAR file is deployed in your application, the fonts can be referenced using pd4ml.useTTF("java:fonts"); where “fonts” corresponds to the name of the fonts folder in the JAR file.

Hi! From the problem description we would suspect it is something wrong with an applying of the initial conversion parameters or if your code relies on pd4ml.adjustHtmlWidth().

Please report the issue to helpdesk pd4ml com and, if possible, supply the report with illustrative PDF samples, converted with the two software versions.

Thank you in advance!

Unfortunately the issue is not reproducible in our test environments.

Could you please share with us:
1. Successfully created PDF sample (with <th>Last Mod</th>)
2. CSS style applied

Thanks in advance!

Hi! Thank you for your investigation of the issue! Most probably “!important” is not the root cause of the hanging, but the style the directive forces. We’ve started to work on it and we’ll keep you informed.

Hi! I’ve found our reply to your original email request. For some reason it did not reach your mailbox. So I am copying it here. (and I’ve also resent the email)

> I’m looking for more informations about pd4ml lib.
> I’m developper and need to convert html into rtf, I wanted to know first if you have a product
> that answers only to this need.

PD4ML is designed as HTML to PDF converter, but it also includes features to convert HTML to raster images and to RTF. There is no RTF-only PD4ML product.

> Then about pd4ml, I wanted to clarify some points please.
> 1. Does the licence is one shot (I mean lifetime) ?

The license is perpetual, but its maintenance (email support / software updates) is limited by 3 months (single licenses) or one year (DevSite aka Volume licenses).

> 2. If my company use only one application, with a single deployement but allocated between different servers
> (to optimize the charge) is the Pro licence enough ?

For the scenario you can use one of the DevSite licenses (does not limit you in a number of deployments) or a number of single licenses, match the number of deployments to online productive nodes (however it is a question what is “online productive” in cluster or cloud environments).

As you are not interested in the specific PDF output features, it makes no sense for you to order DMS or UA software versions: PD4ML PRO is sufficient.

So here is the pricing for the PRO:

one PD4ML Pro single license / 3 month maintenance: 160 EUR
PD4ML Pro DevSite license / 1 year maintenance: 1400 EUR

Hi! Minimalistic PDF samples, created in the two environments, would help a lot to analyze the difference reason.
Please email them to helpdesk pd4ml com.

#34834

Hi Sorin,

thanks a lot for your interest in PD4ML! For the case you reported we created a helpdesk ticket. Contact support @ pd4ml com to receive the status updates.

#34780

Updated. See the comment above.
If you copy-paste the meta tag, please make sure the copied double quotes are regular (not typographical).

#34777

Sorry for the misleading hint. You are right, addMetadata() is a wrong way.

PD4ML allows to override “Creator” via environment variable:
System.getProperty( "pd4ml.creator.application", cLogo );

“Author”
“Keywords”
“Subject”

can be set in <head> section of HTML with i.e <meta name=”Keywords” content=”test meta”>
