Hello,

How to add table of contents in a specific page in the generated pdf. I also need to add page numbers for TOC. The pages will be dynamic for e.g a particular section in the pdf can be in page 4 or it could be in page 40.

Is there a way to achieve that using pd4ml?

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

Thanks

Hi I have a requirement to show some particular pages in a pdf in landscape and then again change it to portrait . This process can continue multiple times.

So far i have tried with <pd4ml:page.break pageFormat=”rotate”/> multiple places in the html template but what i have observed is once the page is rotated from portrait to landscape the rest of the pages appear in landscape only . It does not switches back to portrait even after adding <pd4ml:page.break pageFormat=”rotate”/>

Any help with this will be appreciated.

Thanks
Paulam

Hi Paulam,

try <pd4ml:page.break pageFormat=”reset”/>

In order to render the glyphs you need to make sure the glyphs are present in used TTF font.

As it follows from your Java code snippet, you did not enable TTF embedding at all, so it uses built-in core fonts, support Latin-1 charset only and do not implement the glyphs.

The attached PDF is generated with the TTF embedding enabled. PD4ML took the glyphs from MS Gothic TTF font

See https://pd4ml.com/pdf-fonts/ for TTF embedding hints

Hi there,

I am rotating three consecutive pages from portrait to landscape mode and it works fine, all three pages are in landscape mode.
After my third landscape mode subsequent pages are rotated back to portrait mode, so far so good.

However, I don’t seem to be able to stretch table width in landscape mode pages to 100% for some reason.
First page contains ‘rotate’ tag and ‘reset’tag is at the bottom of the third page.

I have tried adding ‘rotate’ and ‘reset’ tags to individual pages but it made no difference.

Is there a way around this, I am hoping somebody came across this before.

Best regards
-Mario

Did you enable pd4ml.adjustHtmlWidth() mode? In this case, it scales the content down to fit the target page (in its initial portrait format). So after turning the page into landscape, its “extended” right side will always be blank.

If you enabled pd4ml.adjustHtmlWidth() mode, first try to switch it off.

The samples from https://old.pd4ml.com/cookbook/pdf_dynamic_format_change.htm seem to implement exactly what you needed

Hello,
although at least display: contents seems to be listed among the known display values, my following code fails to @propagate@ the elements upwards into the Flex container and have them join the flex party there.

Additionally, specifying order properties on the flex children doesn’t affect the order in which the elements are being rendered.

Is/could there be support for these properties?

The code:
<style type="text/css"> .mainwrapper { display: flex; flex-direction: row; } .innerwrapper { display: contents; } </style> <div class="mainwrapper"> <div style="order: 1">Text1</div> <div style="order: 3">Text3</div> <div style="order: 2">Text2</div> <div class="innerwrapper"> <div style="order: 1">Text1a</div> <div style="order: 2">Text2a</div> </div> </div>

Hello,

another glitch we seem to notice: when we try to use :after pseudoelements on elements using :last-child / :last-of-type or negations thereof, the result is that:
– all elements, including the last element match the negation
– none matches the :last-child or :last-of-type

<style type="text/css"> .mainwrapper > div:not(:last-of-type):after { content: '|' } .mainwrapper > div::last-of-type:after { content: '<' } .mainwrapper > div:not(:last-of-type) > span:after { content: '>' } </style> <div class="mainwrapper"> <div>Text start <span>(inner)</span></div> <div>Text middle <span>(inner)</span></div> <div>Text last <span>(inner)</span></div> </div>

Are these selectors be supported in principle?

Thank you
Viktor

We have a program that runs on Tomcat 10 with Jakarta, that generates pdfs.
We have found that if after the server start, it receives several request in parallel, the font cache on disk gets meessed up, rendering bad pdfs.
In the font cache folder (tomcat’s temp) you finde MyFont.ttf 1000 bytes and 1_MyFont.ttf smaller size.
We are using pd4ml-4.0.15fx1-jakarta.jar.

I’m afraid that :last-child and :last-of-type won’t be supported without a complete refactoring of the CSS runtime.

Support requires either an additional parsing pass of entire HTML document, or non-trivial look-ahead parsing logic (in extreme cases, it takes even more time/resources than a second parsing pass).

All our attempts to implement this feature resulted in significant performance degradation even in simple cases where this feature was not used. We have decided to temporarily omit the feature

If in the <style> area a formatting with

td {
text-align: left;
}

appears, the page number is no longer formatted on the right.
