I am trying to get clickable links in my pdf using Phantomjs. The links that I have specified in my html page using anchor tags do not render into clickable links in the pdf. I am using version 1.9.0. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Simple html file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>HTML</title>
</head>
<body>
<div><span>Here</span></div>
</body>
You should upgrade your PhantomJS version if you can. Usually newer versions have fewer bugs, more capabilities and better performance.
Current PhantomjS version is 2.1.1 and using that version I made a PDF of your HTML with the perfectly clickable link.
The sample script:
var page = require('webpage').create();
page.settings.userAgent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0';
page.viewportSize = { width: 1280, height: 1024 };
page.open('https://jsbin.com/buxuxanigo/edit?output', function() {
setTimeout(function(){
page.render('jsbin.pdf');
phantom.exit();
}, 2000);
});
The result PDF is tested in Foxit PDF Reader under Windows 7:

I have a html page with images, tables and some styling with Bootstrap 4. I tried to convert the pages to pdf using the JsReportMVCService, the pdf doesnot load with the proper css class from bootstrap.
HTML CONTENT
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
<title>WeekelyReport</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="jumbotron">
<h1> Hello John Doe,</h1>
<p>
This is a generic email about something.<br />
<br />
</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
ASP.NET CORE IMPLEMENTATION
var generatedFile = await GeneratePDFAsync(htmlContent);
File.WriteAllBytes(#"C:\temp\hello.pdf", generatedFile);
async Task<byte[]> GeneratePDFAsync(string htmlContent)
{
var report = await JsReportMVCService.RenderAsync(new RenderRequest()
{
Template = new Template
{
Content = htmlContent,
Engine = Engine.None,
Recipe = Recipe.ChromePdf
}
});
using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
{
await report.Content.CopyToAsync(memoryStream);
return memoryStream.ToArray();
}
}
How my Pdf Looks after the conversion to PDF.
It is possible to convert to pdf with the same bootstrap 4 layout? or am i missing something during the conversion here?
The pdf printing uses print media type and the bootstrap has quite different styles for printing. This causes that the pdf looks different than html, but it looks the same as you would print it. I would generally not recommend using responsive css framework as bootstrap for printing static pdf, but it is of course your choice.
To make your example looking the same on pdf you just need to change the media type on the chrome settings.
var report = await JsReportMVCService.RenderAsync(new RenderRequest()
{
Template = new Template
{
Content = htmlContent,
Engine = Engine.None,
Recipe = Recipe.ChromePdf,
Chrome = new Chrome {
MediaType = MediaType.Screen,
PrintBackground = true
}
}
});
make sure you have the latest jsreport.Types#2.2.2
I'm trying to load an epub on my page using epub.js library and its not working on IE 11, it works perfrectly on chrome and Firefox though.
I'm not getting a script error, I don't get a message in the console log, fiddler says all scripts (including zip.js and my epub) are downloaded properly.
It just doesn't load, the iframe embedded has a src="" property and an empty html body. as in the following snapshot.
Here is my html page content:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
<script src="content/epubjs/epub.js"></script>
<script src="content/epubjs/libs/zip.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<span onclick="Book.prevPage();">Prev</span>
<span onclick="Book.nextPage();">Next</span>
<div style="height: 700px; border: 5px solid red" id="area"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
EPUBJS.filePath = "content/epubjs/libs/";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var Book = ePub("content/aliceDynamic.epub", {
version: 4,
restore: false, // Skips parsing epub contents, loading from localstorage instead
storage: false, // true (auto) or false (none) | override: 'ram', 'websqldatabase', 'indexeddb', 'filesystem'
spreads: false, // Displays two columns
fixedLayout: true, //-- Will turn off pagination
styles: {}, // Styles to be applied to epub
width: false,
height: '700px'
});
Book.renderTo("area");
</script>
</body>
</html>
I tried to play around with the options parameter, set things to false and true here and there but it didn't help.
It looks like it is a problem with the current version of epub.js and internet explorer 11. If you try and load the moby dick page you should see the same problem.
Try setting a break on all exceptions (even handled ones) in the javascript engine of IE, and you will see that the javascript throws an exception saying that "'XPathResult' is undefined".
Common recommendations to correct that seem to be installing the wicked-good-xpath library in order to sidestep ie11 lack of XPath support. Install the library and initialize it before trying to load you epub.
If this doesn't correct your problem, you may have to wait until the issues are solved since you don't seem to be the only person who encounters it.
When clicking the links, I get the popup box as expected however the images won't load, it just spins and spins. all the paths are ok as far as I can see.

Chrome console gives these errors which are general as far as I can see and not related to this (although I know, they need sorting!)

After using various versions of colorbox and jQuery I finally found a set that works well together and solves this issue as it was simply down to the versions of colorbox and jQuery I was using. jQuery 1.6.4 and the current version of colorbox work together perfectly.
I've got a iframe with pdf file:
<iframe src="pdf/sample.pdf"></iframe>
How to set that the iframe is the same height as the pdf file, without scrollbars?
If you want to display the PDF without scrollbars, you can do this by passing parameters in the URL. Adobe has documented this here:
http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf
Try this:
<iframe src="pdf/sample.pdf#view=fit"></iframe>
You are not exactly setting the height of the iframe to fit the PDF, but it is probably the most robust solution since it is browser-independent and doesn't require JavaScript.
Here is an update after Daniel's comment.
I created a test HTML as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<iframe src="http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/pdf/PDFReference.pdf#view=fit&toolbar=0&navpanes=0"
width="300px" height="400px"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
This is how it looks in Chrome:
This is as expected.
Note that I also turned off the toolbar and the navpane so there is room for the page.
You can do it simply using the method I've explained on my facebook post https://www.facebook.com/antimatterstudios/posts/10151007211674364
Do you have an IFrame, which you want to automatically set the height of because you're hosting a page from another website in yours.
Well, unfortunately the IFrame cannot take the height of the content you are loading and unless you put a height, it'll show either the default height, or no height at all. This is annoying.
I have the solution for you, it'll only work on recent, standard supporting browsers, but also works in IE8 too, so for about 99% of you it's perfect.
The only problem is you need to insert a javascript inside the iframe, which is easy if the content you are loading belongs to you, you can just open the content you're loading and put the javascript in the content.
In your website, you need a piece of javascript which can "receive a message from the IFrame", like this
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery(window).bind("message",function(e){
data = e.data || e.originalEvent.data;
jQuery("iframe.newsletter_view").height(data.height);
});
});
in your IFrame content, add this at the very bottom, probably it's ok to just do something like "$template.$javascript" using PHP or something, even if the javascript is not inside the tag
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.7.1-min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
parent.postMessage({
height:$(document.body).height()+50+"px"
},"*");
});
</script>
Obviously I am using jquery, you dont have to, it's just easier and probably you are using it, so save yourself the hassle.
if you do that, when the iframe loads, it'll send a signal back to the parent window, which will resize the iframe based on the length of the content :)
I'm sure you can figure out how to alter the little things, but thats the method I'm using
My solution
$(document).ready(function(){
var width = $(window).width();
var height = $(window).height();
$('#objFile').attr('style', 'width: ' + width + 'px; height: ' + height + 'px;');
});
<object data="myFile.pdf" type="application/pdf" id="objFile"></object>
I am trying to use Google Transliterate API helloWorld in Firefox 4.0.1 and WindowsXP
I am using node.js 0.4.7 to serve the page
When I load the page through node.js, i get the following error: "attempt to run compile-and-go script on a cleared scope"
The page is rendered successfully if I double-click it and open in Firefox from disk, or if I open it in IE8, Opera or Chrome
Any idea why this happens and what is the way around it? Here is the code:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi?api-key-here">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// Load the Google Transliterate API
google.load("elements", "1", {
packages: "transliteration"
});
function onLoad() {
var options = {
sourceLanguage:
google.elements.transliteration.LanguageCode.ENGLISH,
destinationLanguage:
[google.elements.transliteration.LanguageCode.URDU],
shortcutKey: 'ctrl+g',
transliterationEnabled: true
};
// Create an instance on TransliterationControl with the required
// options.
var control =
new google.elements.transliteration.TransliterationControl(options);
// Enable transliteration in the textbox with id
// 'transliterateTextarea'.
control.makeTransliteratable(['transliterateTextarea']);
}
google.setOnLoadCallback(onLoad);
</script>
</head>
<body>
Type in Urdu (Press Ctrl+g to toggle between English and Urdu)<br>
<textarea id="transliterateTextarea" style="width:600px;height:200px"></textarea>
</body>
