Hi Kalle,
it depends on what you call “inheritance”. I believe we’re looking at a double-class selector issue here.

That kind of selectors is generally not robust, as MSIE – for example – doesn’t evaluate them correctly either.
In MSIE, a selector like .class1.class2 {} will be evaluated as .class2{} – all elements with the class class2 will be influenced.
Likewise, in PD4ML it seems to be the first class that gets honored.

So, in my opinion, the question of your post is: does PD4ML support double-class selectors?

And a robustness hint is: try to avoid them as they’re problematic with browsers as well (at least to my experience).

HTH,
Viktor

To be honest I even did not know, that there is such type of selectors.

We need to check if ss_css2.jar (CSS library PD4ML relies on) correctly parses double selectors. If yes, the feature implementation does not seem to be a complex task.

I add my “want” vote as well. Please! 🙂
In my case it’s “right:” that we’re sorely missing.

Pd4ml api is right now defaulting the generated pdf to Times New Roman fonttype.

I just want Verdana and Georgia fontype (.ttf) to be used while generating the pdf. The PD4ML demo jar code I am using is as below:

PD4ML pd4ml = new PD4ML();
pd4ml.useTTF(“/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home/lib/fonts”,true)
pd4ml.setDefaultTTFs(“Verdana”, “Georgia”);
pd4ml.enableDebugInfo();

pd4fonts.properties file present in System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home/lib/fonts directory has following contents:

.Keyboard=Keyboard.ttf
Georgia=georgia.ttf
Verdana=verdana.ttf

Please let me know if I am missing anything obvious since I have the required .ttf files in the above directory. Any help would be appreciated.

ahh I see-

In case anyone else has the problem, I have gotten around it by putting the full unc path to the server which servers up the images. Example:

that has sorted out the issue and the images are rendered.

Thanks

Hi,

This css line doesn’t seem to work during conversion:
background: url(imgs/dotleaders.gif) bottom left repeat-x;

Also Special charater like ⃞ doesn’t apper on PDF doc instead we get this “”.
Any solutions to this. Will this be fixed in the next release?

In place of check-box symbol we get ⃞ in the PDF doc.

I wonder if you can help me – I have been trying to get your ttf embedding feature to work all afternoon and am having no luck. We are looking into to PD4ML for a chemical website so greek symbols are essential.

the jsp page:

<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tlds/pd4ml.tld" prefix="pd4ml" %>

Hello, World!

I have put the fonts in a directory and generated the properties file:

#this is an autogenerated file. please remove manually any references to copyrighted fonts
#Mon Jan 30 16:47:43 GMT 2012
Arial=arial.ttf
Arial Bold=arialbd.ttf
Arial Bold Italic=arialbi.ttf
Arial Italic=ariali.ttf
Courier New=cour.ttf
Courier New Bold=courbd.ttf
Courier New Bold Italic=courbi.ttf
Courier New Italic=couri.ttf
Symbol=symbol.ttf
Times New Roman=times.ttf
Times New Roman Bold=timesbd.ttf
Times New Roman Bold Italic=timesbi.ttf
Times New Roman Italic=timesi.ttf

and referred to this. ( I am using windows so have not put this properties file directly into the windows/fonts directory as it will not accept this!) I have also put them in a jar , registered the library as shown above. I have tried rendering from the page. It seems to get assci chars, in the font, i.e. abcde…., ok but not any symbols.

?
Hello, World!
??????, ???!

What I need to do is get it to render from a java class

html.useTTF( “java:fonts2”, true );

response.setContentType(“application/pdf; charset=utf-8”);
response.setHeader(“Content-disposition”, “inline; filename=test4.pdf”);
if (!request.isSecure()) {
response.setHeader(“Pragma”, “no-cache”);
response.setHeader(“Expires”, “-10000”);
}

html.render(url, baos);

This still does not render any Greek symbols only ‘?’! Any help would be appreciated!

I have downloaded the pro demo version to do the proof of concept for this but when I do the debug I just get this:

version: PD4ML 380 (eval)
done in 297ms.

It does not look like it is even trying to load the fonts. Is this not the correct PDML jar? If not where can I download the correct one and what is it’s name?

Megan

TTF Embedding is a feature of PD4ML Pro.

You obviously tried PD4ML Std.

#28841

Yes I think you may not have the correct jar in your current pro evaluaion download.

I dropped down pd4ml.pro.trial.380 to evaluate it not the standard one, and used pd4ml_demo.jar and pd4ml_tl_demo.jar are the only jars in that package and I have installed both.

Can you tell me the name and where I can download and evalution on the pro version so I can test that it will handle the fonts for us?

Thanks

#28842

ah – a new one went up today
pd4ml.pro.trial.380fx2

and that seem to be working!

thanks

#28809

That was a good clarification Viktor. Double selectors are used in our base html and in the first place it was pushed directly to pd4ml and the result wasn’t as expected. By modifying the source html we get the output correct but it would be nice to get support for this 🙂

Br,
