Hi! Table of content can be generated with <pd4ml:toc> proprietary tag. You can place the tag anywhere in the source HTML, but prferrable not to a table cell.
See: https://pd4ml.com/support-topics/usage-examples/#add-toc

Ok, that is also helpful.

“DMS” keyword refers to a capability to produce PDF/A documents for long term electronic document archiving. The feature is available in PD4ML only since v3.

All range of PD4ML v3 versions is available for download and we still maintain the v3 development branch

#36303

> We have an old software that uses PD4ML v1.1

Most probably “PD4ML v1.1” rather refers not to the software version, but to the PD4ML license agreement text version.

Please generate a PDF with the old software and check the PDF document properties (“Creator” or “Producer”). I expect to see there something like v3

#36301

Hi! It is a really unexpected request. An active maintenance period of PD4ML licenses offers an access to all historical versions of PD4ML software, but as I can see the oldest version available for download online is v2.1.0.

We can scan our archives for older versions, but I am not sure it makes any practical sense. The v1.x versions were based on the very limited HTMLEditorKit HTML renderer, which is (or was) a part of JDK and most probably it utilized some version specific features of JDK1.2-1.3.

I would suspect you wrongly identified a PD4ML version you actually need. Can you please explain why from your perspective you need “v1.1” and how you determined it is “v1.1”.

BTW: you can always determine actually used PD4ML version in a generated PDF file: open it in Acrobat reader and inspect the document properties “Creator” or “Producer”

Hi! Today’s v4.0.16 snapshot build should fix the issue

#36199

You can store the .lic file to the work dir of your app, to the classpath root (including root folders of .JAR files) or you can simply pass the activation code from the .lic file to PD4ML constructor.

A valid .lic file or its activation code, even its associated maintenance period has expired, needs to be passed to PD4ML, otherwise PD4ML switches to demo/evaluation mode.

#36191

That depends on the version. There was a regression, when some properties were not correctly propagated to destination modules (i.e. cache).

Which PD4ML version do you currently use?

#36186

Hi! The described behaviour depends on -Dpd4ml.cache.images.in.tmp.dir=true JVM setting and not-graceful shutdowns of the application, as the .dat files are created with tempFile.deleteOnExit(); property.

We’d recommend to update to PD4ML v4.0.16 (available as a snapshot build; it is going to be released in few days) with better cache control and change the JVM property to -Dpd4ml.cache.images.in.tmp.dir=false

#36180

The DevSite license does not limit you in a number of deployments and in the number of applications in which PD4ML will be used. If all PD4ML-enabled software is developed by a single company division, one DevSite license is sufficient

#36171

> Do we have access to the source code through the evaluation license version?
Unfortunately no

#36169

Hi! Here are the answers:

1: It says that the license includes email support and software updates for a year. Does it mean that if we do not renew annually then we will not get the updates but can still keep using the product in it’s un-updated form?

Right. The license itself is perpetual, only the maintenance period expires.

2: Is there any limit to the number of developers that can use a site license for development purposes of a single site?

It is important not to mix “development site” (small company, company division or affiliate, distinguished by a postal address) and e.g. “web site” (place, where your deployed application runs).

The license does not limit you in a number of your PD4ML-enabled application deployments, it does not limit you in a number of developers, work from the same development site. But it is not corporate-wide. If the development is done by a number of teams work in different locations – every such company division or affiliate would need its own Site License.

In other words, the license assumes only one source of support requests.

We offer so-called Enterprise licenses, which have no such limitations.

3: What is the benefit of getting the source code?

The main purpose is security: we offer the source code licenses as a more attractive alternative to source code escrow practice.

In principle you can even build PD4ML software from the SRC, but the major benefit is that you can debug, (in theory) pre-analyze failure reasons and provide us with more detailed issue reports

#36163

> I believe we have version 1.0
Not likely, as from the code snippets follows, you use v2.6 of the taglib. It belongs either to PD4ML v2 or v3

> Should we still stick with version 3 or should we change to version 4 ?
It definitely makes sense to switch to v4

Also I figured out the debug=”true” breaks the page. Instead changing it to debug=”1″ or debug=”0″ works.
Maybe thats a bug in PD4ML?
Most probably it is caused by difference in v3 and v4 API and diagnostics subsystem.
PD4ML v3 allowed simply to switch debug with pd4ml.enableDebugInfo() on, but v4 has pd4ml.setLogLevel(int) instead, where parameter is a bitmask controls various features to be logged. We’ll check why the taglib mapping is wrong there

#36162

BTW: does it work in your env if you removed the leading slash? &ltlink rel=”stylesheet” href=”css/report.css”></link>
