Dinesh, PD4ML outputs PDFs, which are only compatible with Acroread 5 and newer.

#27818

I believe I am having a similar problem. All of my images are pixelated. Did you/anyone find a fix for this?

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

#27819

PD4ML never applies any kind of resampling to images. It embeds them to PDF, keeping original pixels untouched.

Here is some info an a possible workaround:

any ideas about this exception?

#28068

I find this

http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=450114

It seems like a proxy problem, but we have no proxy!

Does pd4ml use something like this?

Tnx

#28069

It is not necessarily a problem with a proxy. Another possible problem is an invalid routing from one server to another.

Make sure the server where PD4ML is located is able to ping/traceroute the server where HTML source is.

#28070

there is not routing, file xml/html and pd4ml are in same server.

if xml/html is not visible, I think I have a file not found exception.

Am I wrong?

#28071

It does not seem so.

Actually it tries to load via SSL/HTTPS. Is the protocol (and the corresponding port) enabled on the server?

Also even if everything is on the same server, the server may have a number of DNS names. And some of them are external (not known in the intranet). So try to enable debug on (pd4ml.enableDebugInfo()) and check in server’s log what exactly it tries to connect.

#26408

Hi, i’m triying to generate a pdf file from a servlet (a filter-servlet to be specific) the thing is that the html that i’m trying to convert have special characters (á é í ó ú ñ) but they are all in the ISO-8859-1 encoding, when i open the URL with firefox all works ok but when i try to open the url with IE the special characters does not render ok, this is my code:
<br /> //the important part of the code<br /> PD4ML pd4ml = new PD4ML();<br /> <br /> pd4ml.setPageInsets(new Insets(20, 10, 10, 10));<br /> pd4ml.setHtmlWidth(800);<br /> pd4ml.setPageSize(pd4ml.changePageOrientation(PD4Constants.LETTER));<br /> <br /> response.setContentType("application/pdf");<br /> response.setCharacterEncoding("ISO-8859-1");<br /> pd4ml.enableDebugInfo();<br /> ByteArrayOutputStream salida = new ByteArrayOutputStream();<br /> <br /> pd4ml.render(new StringReader(preProcessPage), salida ,new URL("http://"+<br /> request.getServerName()+":"+request.getLocalPort()+<br /> this.getFilterConfig().getServletContext().getContextPath()),"ISO-8859-1");<br /> <br /> response.setContentLength(salida.size());<br /> <br /> response.getOutputStream().write(salida.toByteArray());<br /> response.getOutputStream().close();<br /> <br /> //more code<br />

The weird thing is that the code works perfect in firefox, maybe the problem is the internet explorer or the pdf plugin, any ideas? thanks….

Embedding a true type font has not worked with the pro version

Source urls for each page:

http://mesoderm-ext.cambrient.com/sat/content/en/za/trade-popup-detail?oid=1854&sn=Detail-ebrochure

source code:

private void generatePdf(String outputFileDir, String outputFileName,
URL[] urls) throws IOException {
File file = new File(outputFileDir + outputFileName);
FileOutputStream pdfOut = new FileOutputStream(file);
PD4ML pd4ml = new PD4ML();
pd4ml.setPageSize(PD4Constants.A4);
pd4ml.setPageInsets(new Insets(0, 0, 0, 0));
pd4ml.setHtmlWidth(1000);

PD4PageMark footer = new PD4PageMark();
footer.setPagesToSkip(2);
footer.setAreaHeight( 50 );
footer.setHtmlTemplate(“Footer test
” + “${page} of
${total}” );

pd4ml.setPageFooter( footer );

pd4ml.useTTF( “java:fonts”, true );

pd4ml.setDefaultTTFs(“Trebuchet MS”,”Tahoma”,”Arial”);
pd4ml.render(urls, pdfOut);
pdfOut.close();
}

attached are the true type fonts and the
pd4fonts.properties file from the jre/lib/fonts folder

Java version: 1.6.0
PD4ML version: pd4ml.prof.360fx1.zip
Operating system: Ubuntu 8.04

the pdf generated is here

http://mesoderm-ext.cambrient.com/sat/applications/sat/custom/test/brochure_1277304505131.pdf

The second problem is the footer html source is not displaying and the 2 pages are not skipped.

#28081

pd4ml.useTTF( “java:fonts”, true ); assumes, the fonts and pd4fonts.properties are packed to JAR and the JAR is added to the application CLASSPATH.

Brief info about TTF embedding: pd4ml-html-css-pdf-tips-tricks-f7/ttf-embedding-t42.html

If you would like to use fonts from jre/lib/fonts, you need to specify the absolute font directory path. For example:

pd4ml.useTTF( “/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/lib/fonts”, true );

#28082

thanks, the fonts are working now that I put in the full path to the jre/libs/fonts folder. rtfm.

However the footer is still problematic. With this source code:

footer.setPagesToSkip(2);
footer.setAreaHeight( 50 );
footer.setHtmlTemplate(“Footer test
” + “${page} of ${total}” );

What happens is the htmltemplate does skip the first 2 pages but the area height does not.

I want to fill up the entire page with a graphic in the first 2 pages and then only from pages 3 onwards must the footer area height be set. Is this possible?

Either that or can I create a separate footer for the first 2 pages which I will fill up with a graphic?

#27967

Please share us the details of method for local caching, can we specify the location for caching.

#27968

The local caching can be switched on with the following calls.
[language=java:3k1qn9jp]Map m = new HashMap();
m.put(PD4Constants.PD4ML_CACHE_IMAGES_IN_TMP_DIR, “true”);
pd4ml.setDynamicParams(m);[/language:3k1qn9jp]
A version, which supports the feature, is going to be released till 9th of July.

#26410

Hi PD4ML
We have bought your product how can i give All Rights Reserved in under the footer.
