      • useTTF

        public void useTTF​(java.lang.String pathToFontDirs)
                    throws java.io.FileNotFoundException
        enables TTF font embedding subsystem. Available only in professional version of PD4ML.
        Parameters:
        pathToFontDirs - URL of a font directory or a path to pd4fonts.properties mapping file
        The font directory should contain pd4fonts.properties mapping file. The file records have the following format:
        font_name=file_name
        • font_name - font name used in the source HTML.
        • file_name - font file name (should exist in the font directory)

        Example:

        Book\ Antiqua=BKANT.TTF
        To generate the file automatically you may use the command line call:
        java -jar pd4ml.jar -configure.fonts <fontdir>
        After the generation, please edit the file and remove manually all references to the fonts, that are not allowed to be redistributed. Contact your TTF fonts provider for the info.

        In order to support J2EE deployments a PD4ML-specific protocol "java:" is supported to load font resources via ClassLoader.

        Example: useTTF("java:myfonts");

        In that case the runtime looks for a fonts folder named "/myfonts" in all JAR files available for the application class loaders. The content of the folder should correspond to the rules described above: pd4fonts.properties + *.ttf

        Example: useTTF("java:");

        The simplest case. The runtime looks for a JAR file which contains pd4fonts.properties + *.ttf in the root directory.

        Throws:
        java.io.FileNotFoundException - if pd4fonts.properties file is not found or the file refers to missing font files
      • useTTF

        public void useTTF​(java.lang.String pathToFontDirs,
                           boolean generateFontMappingFileIfMissing)
                    throws java.io.FileNotFoundException
        Parameters:
        pathToFontDirs - URI of TTF file directory
        generateFontMappingFileIfMissing - forces to index available fonts (if they are not indexed yet). The indexing may be time/resource consuming. If true, make sure PD4ML has write permission to pathToFontDirs
        Throws:
        java.io.FileNotFoundException - font directory not found
        See Also:
        useTTF(String)

        Parameters:
        pageNum - One-based indexed page number (the leading page is #1)

      • setHtmlWidth

        public void setHtmlWidth​(int width)
                          throws InvokeException
        defines desired HTML page width in screen pixels. Virtually it can be seen as a web browser window horizontal resize.
        In the resulting PDF the HTML width is mapped to the paper page width (minus insets). There is no way to specify HTML page height. The height in screen pixels is set automatically depending on the width and the paper page proportions.
        Parameters:
        width - HTML width in screen pixels
        Throws:
        InvokeException - when the width is not a positive value great that 0.
      • adjustHtmlWidth

        public void adjustHtmlWidth​(boolean adjust)
        sets htmlWidth to the most right margin of the HTML block content. Calling the method would force PD4ML to build HTML layout with htmlWidth set by setHtmlWidth(int), to determine the most right edge of rendered content and to use the value for PDF mapping. Notes:
        • The method takes no effect for multi-URL PD4ML call: render(URL[],OutputStream)
        • In order to use the method efficiently, it is important to call setHtmlWidth(int) with a parameter value, which is greater than the expected right edge offset.
        • If the source document has HTML objects, whose width is set to 100%, than the method call is meaningless.
        • As long as htmlWidth affects HTML-to-PDF scale factor, usage of the method causes inconstancy of font/object sizes in the resulting PDF from document to document.
        Parameters:
        adjust - enables the adjustments

      • protectPhysicalUnitDimensions

        public void protectPhysicalUnitDimensions​(boolean keepPhysicalUnitDimensions)
        makes PD4ML to output PDF objects respecting dimensions/font sizes given in "in", "pt", "cm" etc. Use the method carefully: as long as it triggered, there is no single HTML-to-PDF scale factor for all HTML objects. The resulting PDF layout may appear visually corrupted. If the method is not triggered, all sizes given in physical measurement units are converted to their screen pixel equivalents (using 72dpi) before HTML layout. The method call can not be combined with adjustHtmlWidth() and fitPageVertically() calls, which affect HTML-to-PDF scale factor their own way.
        Parameters:
        keepPhysicalUnitDimensions - enable if true

      • setDynamicData

        public void setDynamicData​(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,​java.lang.String> map)
        Parameters:
        map - a set of key/value (String/String) pairs to dynamically substitute placeholders in HTML template (like "$[key]"). Key names "page", "total" and "title" are reserved for PDF headers and footers.
      • setParam

        public void setParam​(java.lang.String key,
                             java.lang.String value)
        Sets parsing/rendering parameters
        Parameters:

      • outputRange

        public void outputRange​(java.lang.String description)
        Parameters:
        description - a string with output rules. Currently allows to limit a scope of generated pages. Examples: "2+" - skip the first page, "1-2" - output only the first and the second pages, "even" or "odd" - it is obvious. The rules may be combined: "3-7,odd"
        Since:
        v3.5.5
      • monitorProgressWith

        public void monitorProgressWith​(ProgressListener listener)
        conversion progress callback support
        Parameters:
        listener - receiver of progress update messages
      • addMetadata

        public void addMetadata​(java.lang.String key,
                                java.lang.String value,
                                boolean hide)
        The method defines custom properties for PDF document meta data. The method takes effect only with PD4ML DMS and PD4ML UA license types.
        Parameters:
        key - a unique name, which must not be one of the standard property names Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator, Producer, CreationDate, ModDate and Trapped
        value - data itself
        hide - makes the metadata not appear in the PDF document properties dialog of Acroread
      • applyKerning

        public void applyKerning​(boolean enable)
        Forces PD4ML to align font glyphs to each other according to the font kerning hints (if available). The API call takes effect only by PDF generation.
        Parameters:
        enable - - enables the feature
      • enableLigatures

        public void enableLigatures​(boolean enable)
        Forces PD4ML to load TTF/OTF glyph susbstitution tables, to apply ligature replacements and to build compound glyphs. The feature requires pd4ml_fonttool.jar
        Parameters:
        enable - - enables the feature
      • getCache

        public java.lang.Object getCache()
        Returns:
        cache object to be reused by new PD4ML instances. The cache object is not reentrant, so a single instance cannot be used from multiple threads.
        See Also:
        setCache(Object)
      • setCache

        public void setCache​(java.lang.Object fontCache)
        Parameters:
        fontCache - cache object returned by other PD4ML instance
        See Also:
        getCache()
      • asyncResourceLoader

        public void asyncResourceLoader​(int threadPoolSize)
        enables asynchronous resource loading (graphics, attachments etc) if thread pool size is not equal 0. By default the asynchronous loader is disabled. As the loader spawns new threads, usage of it is discouraged in Java EE environment.
        Parameters:
        threadPoolSize - loader thread pool size. If the value is negative, it it does not limit the pool size: creates new threads as needed, but will reuse previously constructed threads when they are available.
