It is a functional limitation of the header/footer type. PD4ML supports 3 header/footer types – see http://pd4ml.com/cookbook/pdf_header_footer_generation.htm

An inline header should solve the issue.

Hello,

I am using spreadsheet converter to convert excel files in to html or swf.
This application uses pd4ml to convert the html or swf to pdf.
Unfortunately some times my users get ??? instead of the text.
The problem comes and goes from time to time.
Is there a solution to that?

#29346

I forgot to mention that the language is greek and the fonts are times new roman or arial

#29347

By default PD4ML converts to PDF characters, belong to Latin-1 charset only using built-in Adobe fonts (Helvetica, Times New Roman and Courier New). In order to output national or special characters you would need to configure and utilize TTF embedding feature of PD4ML *Pro* (or derived PD4ML Volume and Src licenses). See:

I’m wondering if there is a way to set footer only display on last page or is there a way to get total page before render. My code Java api is to create pdf file based on a html url.
Thanks for help.

The feature is problematic to implement. In an extreme case the last page may have no space to place a footer: it should force a page break and the trailing footer goes to new page with no content, which is undesired.

As a workaround it you may use a conditional page break to move some content to next page (if needed, to make the last page not totally blank) and a footnote.

Example:

[language=xml:ci6mh5m2]….
….
text text text …

the last text section…
….
….
trailing footer[/language:ci6mh5m2]
The page break will take effect only if the remaining vertical page space is less than 200px (and the last text section + footnote do not presumably fit it)

ifSpaceBelowLessThan parameter value for your document structure/layout needs to be found an empiric way.

We are testing the RTL/Arabic support. We are using the following CSS to do this.
.rtlStyle
{
direction: rtl;
}
However, CSS direction is documented as not working. I can confirm that it does not work. So how is RTL implemented?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I’m waiting for reply. Request you top please provide your response.

#29351

Till now we did not address RTL-specific issues by RTF output. We’ll check what could be done and how long the implementation may take.

#29352

I’m confused. I’m trying to output to PDF not RTF. Also, you indicated the following in your release notes for in PD4ML Pro 3.8.0fx8:

“Arabic word wrap errors”
– possible lost space char between RTL text sections

How did you make RTL work in HTML so that it could be rendered in PDF? I only know the “Direction” CSS attribute.

Best,
Clifton Sothoron

I am trying to generate a PDF that contains dozens of small images. This greatly slows down my PDF generation, as PD4ML loads the images serially. Loading the HTML in a web browser is much faster, as all of the images the loaded in parallel. Is there a way to load the images in parallel inside of PD4ML?

Thanks

#26854

Was just wondering if there are any plans to support this CSS property in the future, or any workarounds to achieve the same result. I would like to be able to use { box-sizing: border-box; }

#26855

Is border-radius supported in pd4ml ?

#29360

Border radius is not supported in HTML/CSS properties yet.

Its support has been recently added to SVG renderer module of PD4ML, so if it is needed for decorative reasons, you may use inline SVG graphics for that.
