I am using .tiff images for my PDF and they are not appearing when the letter is being generated.

There are no errors in the logs. When I use .png images, they work.

Any comments would be helpful.

PD4ML does not support Javascript and we have no plans to support it. The topic with a tricky workaround is discussed by the link:
html-css-to-pdf-rendering-issues-f3/is-javascript-supported-t216.html

Alternatively you may give a try to PD4ML Web wrapper to a PhantomJS HTML->PDF converter module. https://pd4ml.com/pd4ml_web.htm Its functionality is planned to be included to PD4ML v4 as an option.

But in pdf ‘border-radius:100%‘ is not applicable and <i> tag is also not there in PD4ML styles

Can you help me how to apply bubble(round symbols in pdf).

Hi,

I have been using the below sample code in my application. I have been using the demo jar.

PD4ML html = new PD4ML();
html.setPageSize(new java.awt.Dimension(450, 450));
html.setPageInsets(new java.awt.Insets(20, 50, 10, 10));
html.setHtmlWidth(750);
html.enableImgSplit(false);
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=test.pdf");

URL base = new URL("file:D:/home.jsp");
html.render(url, baos);

Is this feature available in PD4ML library or in PD4Ml library PRO? I have to give this info to my procurement team.

The code works with both Std and Pro versions.

The Pro version would also allow you to embed TTF fonts and to display with them non-Latin and special characters.

By default PD4ML converts to PDF characters, belong to Latin-1 charset only using built-in Adobe fonts (Helvetica, Times New Roman and Courier New). In order to output national or special characters you would need to configure and utilize TTF embedding feature. See:

tag is supported – it is just a synonym to in a PDF conversion context.

Hi, I am pd4ml rookie here. So, please forgive me if I am asking a primeval question.
I am trying to integrate pd4ml with phantomjs to generate a pdf from html that contains javascript. So far, I was unable to generate for a simple html using the web module. I searched for examples but could not find anything to my satisfaction. I am posting my actual code here.
This is my java code(taken from the toc example provided in the downloads). The only change I made(as mentioned in https://pd4ml.com/pd4ml_web.htm) was to use the web.pd4ml package. I am using the same sample.html file that comes with the example.

package main;

import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Insets;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

import org.zefer.pd4ml.PD4Constants;
import org.zefer.pd4ml.PD4PageMark;
import org.zefer.pd4ml.web.PD4ML;

public class WebPageConverterWithPhantomJS {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
WebPageConverterWithPhantomJS converter = new WebPageConverterWithPhantomJS();
String htmlFileName = "C:\DEV\workspace\PD4MLExample\examples\toc\sample.html";
File pdfFile = new File("C:\DEV\workspace\PD4MLExample\examples\toc\sampleUsingPhantomJS.pdf");
converter.generatePDF(htmlFileName, pdfFile, PD4Constants.A4,
args.length > 2 ? args[2] : null, args.length > 3 ? args[3] : null );
System.out.println("done.");
}

private void generatePDF(String inputHTMLFileName, File outputPDFFile, Dimension format, String fontsDir, String headerBody)
throws Exception {

java.io.FileOutputStream fos = new java.io.FileOutputStream(outputPDFFile);
PD4ML pd4ml = new PD4ML("C:\DEV\workspace\PD4MLExample\public\tools\phantomjs.exe");
pd4ml.setPageInsets(new Insets(20, 10, 10, 10));
pd4ml.setHtmlWidth(950);
pd4ml.setPageSize(pd4ml.changePageOrientation(format)); // landscape page orientation
if ( fontsDir != null && fontsDir.length() > 0 ) {
pd4ml.useTTF( fontsDir, true );
}
if ( headerBody != null && headerBody.length() > 0 ) {
PD4PageMark header = new PD4PageMark();
header.setAreaHeight( -1 ); // autocompute
header.setHtmlTemplate( headerBody ); // autocompute
pd4ml.setPageHeader( header );
}
pd4ml.enableDebugInfo();

InputStream is = new FileInputStream(inputHTMLFileName);
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is, "UTF-8");

pd4ml.render(isr, fos);
//pd4ml.render("file:" + inputHTMLFileName, fos);
}
}

This is the change I made in the html . Included bootstrap css, font-awesome css, jquery and bootstrap js files.

<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
..
<LINK href="i/W3C-REC.css" type=text/css rel=stylesheet>
<LINK href="i/default.css" type=text/css rel=STYLESHEET>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="public/stylesheets/bootstrap-2.3.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="public/stylesheets/font-awesome.css" />
.
.
<script type="text/javascript" src="public/javascripts/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="public/javascripts/bootstrap-2.1.min.js"></script>
.
.
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".thisred").addClass("red"); //testing only.
});
</script>

...
</BODY>

When I execute this code, it throws the error

090b2 Pro (eval)
ReferenceError: Can't find variable: $

c:%5CUsers%5CUKALIVI%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cpd4ml1002373815533658363.htm:29

If I change the instantiation of pd4ml to :

PD4ML pd4ml = new PD4ML("C:\DEV\workspace\PD4MLExample\public\tools\phantomjs.exe");

I don’t get the error and the console shows done. But the pdf generated is not useful, the pd4ml tags were not recognized I think.

done.

Could you please let me know what I am missing here. Also, could you please provide some examples for integration with phantomjs.

By default PD4ML supports only Fax-specific TIFF image sub-formats. Obviously in your case the TIFF format is not among the supported.

A workaround would be to define a so-called custom resource loader and let it re-format a TIFFs to anything compatible.

See:
https://pd4ml.com/cookbook/custom_rc_loaders.htm
and an attachment.

Right now there is no way to generate PDFs with CMYK colorspace.

You could request the feature implementation on an (affordable) paid basis.

#29504

Just released v390 addresses the issue. Do not forget to copy an updated ss_css2.jar from the distribution package to your application resources.

#28345

Just-released v390 addresses the issue.

Please give it a try.

I:xampphtdocspd4mlfonts/pd4fonts.properties
or
I:xampphtdocspd4mlfonts/times.ttf
is the right path in windows system?
