Hi,

Is there a way to merge multiple (more than 1) existing PDF files to the PDF being created. There is a way to merge one existing PDF file to the PDF being generated. But I didnt find any way to merge multiple existing PDF files.

thanks
Praveen

Unfortunately for the time being there is no way to merge PDF output with more than one existing PDF file. We work on the issue to be resolved with the next major release.

By an HTML rendering PD4ML instantiates tons of objects to represent even a minimalistic HTML document. Each tag or a standalone whitespace requires a creation of a couple of objects: a tag and its properties table etc.

A reusing of PD4ML instance may save a few nanoseconds, comparing to hundreds of milliseconds needed for an entire conversion procedure. If you find that still worthwhile, we’ll make the corresponding properties “public” in the next beta release, to let you reset them if needed. (We are conservative with any legacy API changes and would prefer to keep them as it is now, until a new generation of PD4ML came).

Unfortunately in our business we cannot rely on “decent developers” use our tools. From about 10 years of PD4ML support practice we learned a lot of really “creative” ways one can misuse the library (and programming paradigms in general). So simple rules, like “do not reuse an instance”, works always; a dispatch to a “best practice” may lead to new troubles.

Anybody encounter this issue ?

#29386

Download and try the most recent PD4ML Pro v385.

PD4ML,

Any thoughts on what could be happening here?

I’ve been instructed by my higher ups to find a fix for this issue or start looking for another application to generate our PDFs. We are just getting too many questions from our customers asking why there is all the blank space and their table is on the next page.

Thanks,
Matt

html.enableSmartTableBreaks(true) implicitly defines

TABLE, TR {page-break-inside: avoid}

CSS style. Obviously to resolve the issue you would need either disable the smart table break mode or to define an extra CSS style (i.e. with html.addStyle())

TABLE {page-break-inside: auto !important}

Thanks so much for the reply. This worked! Back to very happy with PD4ML! This was the only issue we were having, everything else works wonderfully. Great product!

You defined debug=”true” attribute. That means PD4ML prints to server’s log TTF loading diagnostics.

Can it lookup requested fonts? Can it load them? The log output should help to determine the problem reason.

<pd4ml:usettf from="java:fonts"/>
