#29519
Make sure you use PD4ML Pro. PD4ML Std does not support TTF embedding/national scripts.
#26914I have an html file that our app converts to pdf using pd4ml .NET library. The html code contains several html entities like Spanish accent chars like ñ and chars like ¿ Those chars don’t come correct in PDF. Please advise.
#26915My version: version: PD4ML 385fx4 Pro (eval)
my code (based on examples):
<br /> test(){<br /> String htmlDocument = "";<br /> PD4ML pd4ml = new PD4ML();<br /> pd4ml.enableDebugInfo();<br /> pd4ml.setPageSize(pd4ml.changePageOrientation(PD4Constants.A4));<br /> pd4ml.setPageInsets(new Insets(20, 20, 20, 20));<br /> pd4ml.setHtmlWidth(1200);<br /> pd4ml.disableHyperlinks();<br /> pd4ml.useTTF("java:fonts", true);<br /> pd4ml.setDefaultTTFs("Times New Roman", "Arial", "Courier New");<br /> ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();<br /> pd4ml.render(new StringReader(htmlDocument), baos);<br /> baos.close();<br /> }After this code done I have 1 new file in my …/temp directory. Function pd4ml.render(…) create it, but not delete. Also I can’t delete it while JVM running.
But if I don’t use pd4ml.useTTF(…) temporary file didn’t appear.
How can I clear this file from code?

Yes, i did it.

“Some text” isn’t printed into final pdf/rtfBUT if I replace
a bit:

#29472Same problem with tables:

#26916I tryed to download CSS parser from page http://pd4ml.com/reference.htm

No such file: /cssparser-0.9.4.patched.2007.zip#29523The broken link is fixed now
#26917Hi, I have a requirement to add footers to specific pages which are determined based on the total number of pages in the PDF. Is this something that we can achieve?
#26918We have a tomcat/liferay based solution that utilizes the pd4ml library. We stumbled across an issue recently where upon initial load of a web page, the content will resize to fit relative to the other components on a webpage. This occurs in less than one second, and is often not noticeable to most users.
The problem we are facing is that pd4ml appears to render the original html content, and we had hoped there would be a way to delay the rendering and html capturing process (perhaps a second or so) so that the content is correctly positioned on the web page before the rendering is executed.
Please let me know if this is something we can accomplish as we are approaching a deadline to implement this feature in our product.
thank you
#29525I am not sure, if I understand you correctly.
PD4ML implements its own HTML/CSS rendering engine. The engine starts page layouting only after all resources (images, stylesheets etc) are completely loaded. So it is not possible, that page layout changes itself in 1-2 seconds.
So I am afraid, if a PDF conversion result does not match its original HTML page layout, there are probably other reasons (failed CSS parsing, unsupported HTML tags etc). An HTML/CSS samples would help to analyze the problem reason.
The above is relevant for the original PD4ML library. There is also PD4ML Web (based on WebKit native HTML renderer) – the version may suffer from network/rendering asynchrony or delays.
#26919Hi,
I am using pd4ml 350 pro version, I am performing some trials to verify if pd4ml can embed a GDT font and display correct symbols inside pdf.
I followed steps mentioned in section “7.1 TTF embedding” to configure fonts directory.I am trying to convert following html to PDf with Ascii and Unicode character for one of the GDT symbol,
ASCII : é Unicode : é part of sample java code I wrote to test is as follows,
String strFilePath = “D:/tempGDt.pdf”;
File output = new File(strFilePath);
java.io.FileOutputStream fos = new java.io.FileOutputStream(output);
StringBuffer sbTemp = new StringBuffer(““); PD4ML html = new PD4ML();
html.enableDebugInfo();
html.setHtmlWidth( 870 );
html.setPageSize(PD4Constants.A4);
html.setPageSize( new java.awt.Dimension(842, 595) );
html.setPageInsets( new java.awt.Insets(30, 30, 30, 30) );
html.enableImgSplit(true);
html.interpolateImages(false);
html.useAdobeFontMetrics(true);
html.useTTF( “D:/fonts”, true );StringReader sr = new StringReader(sbTemp.toString());
html.render(sr, fos);
fos.close();When above code is executed, a PDF file is generated with blank pages. Following is the debug log,
version: PD4ML 350 Pro

I have tried same stuff with latest released pro trial, it also outputs a blank pdf without any hint in debug log as whats going wrong.#29524PD4ML allows to define page-specific headers/footers (scope attribute of ):
– based on a page number,
– depending if a page even or odd,
– and allows to suppress header/footer for the last page.It is not possible to define a scope like “$[total]-3” etc.
On the other hand it is possible to define content-flow specific headers/footers.
For example:
[language=xml:27v58xlo]…
HTML content
…New page footer, impacts pages follow the next page break. $[page] of $[total]
New page with the new page footer, defined above
…
HTML content
…[/language:27v58xlo]
