#27817
I think this is an issue of DPI. PD4ML seems to increase the image size by about 20%.
What DPI does PD4ML render at?
If I know that, I can potentially specify a smaller-than-normal height and width for the images in my image tags, so they render properly.
To test this, try rendering any image and you will notice it’s larger on the PDF than on the web page, causing it to be pixelated.
Like so:
(Haven’t tried it without the width/height specified – could that be the cause?)
#28059Thanks for your help PD4ML.
I followed your instructions and am now passing the base URL to the render method. I also have debugging turned on. BTW, I am using the Pro version.
Now when I do the conversion I get the following in the logs:
<br /> version: PD4ML 351 Pro<br /> loading CSS file http://<someURL>/css.css<br /> not yet in cache: http://<someURL>/css.css<br /> image not yet in cache: http://<someURL>/images/<imagePath.image.gif><br /> not yet in cache: http://<someURL>/images/<imagePath.image.gif><br /> <br /> image size: 391<br /> done in 1938ms.<br />These logs would seem to me that everything was a success but the rendered PDF still doesn’t have the styles applied.
There are also inline styles applied plus the CSS file. Is this disabling the application of the styles?
Thanks for any help with this.
#28060Any resolution to this? I’m having the exact same problem today.
I’ve had success in the past using the JSP transform tag and it handled all references to CSS perfectly. But now, I’m trying to solve a problem that requires that I perform programmatic conversion of an HTML string in the same manner stated by the original poster and no matter what I try my CSS is ignored.
These are the things that I have tried:
1) Used the pd4ml.addStyle(
,true), where was a fully qualified path to the resource. Debugging showed that the css resource was found and brought into the cache, yet the styles were not applied. 2) Used the pd4ml.addStyle(
, true), where held all of the styles in my CSS file. Styles were not applied. 3) Included a stylesheet link tag in the head element of my HTML string with a fully qualified path to the CSS resource. Again, debug says that the css was found and brought into the cache, but styles were not applied.

#26404We are producing a document which needs different insets on the first page than all other pages. I tried to simulate this by (ab)using a dynamic page marker and generate a specific header (div style=height: xypx) for the first and all other pages. But it appears like the layouting engine doesn’t really take the headers/footers into account.
Is there a way to define dynamic insets? Perhaps similar to the current pagemarker model? Otherwise we would have to fall back to use multiple pd4ml runs and concat everything together with iText. But we’d rather use one tool for this project.
Thanks for your help!
Reto#28056Currently we work on a PD4ML version, which is able to cache resources in /tmp directory, which should help to reduce memory utilization. Please contact support pd4ml com if you are interested to give a try to a development build.
#28063I’m having the same problem. Will you please give details on where you used absolute paths? Thanks.
#28064Try to switch PD4ML into debug mode with pd4ml.enableDebugInfo() and inspect STDOUT/server’s log which URL it actually tries to load.
If in your HTML document references are defined as /path/to/stylesheet.css and in the debug output they appear prefixed with file:, pd4ml.useServletContext() call should help.
But it is a better idea to reference CSS stylesheets with relative paths (like ../mycss/stylesheet.css).
#28035The info should help:

#27874PD4ML does not support headers and footers output.
As a workaround, try to print logo.gif to the graphics device of the buffered image object after PD4ML printed the main content of the document there.
#27870For the time being the feature is not supported.
However PD4ML implements a proprietary tag, which could help to achieve the needed result.
Currently the tag is undocumented and we use it only in DXL->PDF conversion scenarios. I am afraid the tag has some limitations – I need to check.
But the idea is as follows: you may add a sequence of tags at the end of the main document:
[language=xml:1hm0omug][/language:1hm0omug]
The tags will be ignored by the browsers, but PD4ML will include the referenced documents. Of course, in forthcomming versions, we could automate the process and to implicitly build the list from tags.#26406Hi PD4ML
