Please create a document with the only right arrow entity using Tinymce, generate PDF and send it to support pd4ml.com by email or attach to a post in the topic. We’ll check what is wrong there.

Hello,

i wpuld like to generate a pdf from a html that contains images stretched in height like .

It appears that pd4ml for java does not do that, or perhaps there is a property I should set.

The second problem I have is that I have a html very large horizontally.
Is there a way to stretch the html to fit a pdf page?

Can you give me some suggestions for my two problems?

Thanks a lot in advance.

In my project, i have to generate several PDF-pages from different URLs for a report.

Each URL has a pretty big CSS include, but it’s always the same one. As i get a parse error (Invalid syntax in CSS declaration. “filter:”), i see that the CSS-parser parses each of these CSS-files individually. And thats why it takes ages to render the whole report.

Is there a way to tell the parser to cache the parsed CSS contents?

Thanks,
Franz

Here is the files!
I generated it using this comand:
> java -Xmx512m -cp .pd4ml_demo.jar Pd4Cmd "file:arrow.xml" 1200 A4 -debug -out test.pdf

#27977

OK, now it is clear.
In order to output special characters you need to utilize TTF embedding feature:
pd4ml-html-css-pdf-tips-tricks-f7/ttf-embedding-t42.html

Pd4Cmd has a dedicated parameter -ttf to point to a fonts directory.

#27978

mmm…ok
but I think I made orther mistakes:

1. I create font/ directory c:ntt and copy arial.ttf.
2. run pd4font.properties generation command
java -jar pd4ml.jar -configure.fonts c:nttfont
3. use this command
C:ntt>java -Xmx512m -cp .pd4ml_demo.jar Pd4Cmd "file:arrow.xml" 1200 A4 -debug -out test.pdf -ttf "C:nttfont"

this is the answer:
<br /> version: PD4ML 360fx1b1 Pro (eval)<br /> not yet in cache: file:C:nttfont/pd4fonts.properties<br /> not yet in cache: font/arial.ttf<br /> resource font/arial.ttf not found.<br /> can not find 'arial' at font/arial.ttf<br /> reject TTF lookup for: 'arial'<br /> 'sans-serif' is not in pd4fonts.properties file<br /> reject TTF lookup for: 'sans-serif'<br /> 'verdana' is not in pd4fonts.properties file<br /> reject TTF lookup for: 'verdana'<br /> ...<br /> 'courier new' is not in pd4fonts.properties file<br /> reject TTF lookup for: 'courier new'<br /> done in 1109ms.<br />
and the arrow is yet a cross… 🙁
why?
Thanks

Could you please post pd4font.properties content

#27980

#this is an autogenerated file. please remove manually any references to copyrighted fonts
#Fri Apr 16 14:47:04 CEST 2010
Arial=arial.ttf
font.dir.location=font

#27981

Try to remove or comment font.dir.location=font line out.

#27982

great!!!
from comand line, it works.
Now I try in my java application trough pd4ml object.
Thanks

#26378

Is it any possible to use the fonts in the ITextAsian.jar?
If pd4ml can do it, how to config?

#27988

No, PD4ML cannot use ITextAsian.jar.

Do you have any troubles with TTF embedding feature of PD4ML?

#27989

No, the file sizes of the pdf genereted via PD4ML with TTF just much bigger than IText + ITextAsian.
Same HTML source,
PD4ML + TTF: 200-300k
IText + iTextAsian: < 50k

#27990

Obviously IText + iTextAsian does not embed fonts, but refers to the standard Type1 fonts of Acroread. PD4ML does not support that.

However useTTF() PD4ML API method has a boolean parameter, which tells either to physically embed TTFs or just to refer to their names. “Not embed”-mode results smaller documents, but the documents rely on the fonts installed on the client machine.
