Opera mini browser can save HTML pages in OBML (Opera Binary Markup Language) format for offline browsing. I am wondering if I can convert a HTML file to OBML format and save in my phone for later viewing.
For doing so, I need details about the OBML format, which seems to be undocumented. Do you know more details on this OBML format?
Thanks for your time.
I reverse-engineered several OBML format versions and wrote a Python OBML to HTML converter along with format documentation. Generating OBML files might be more difficult, however, as it requires an actual HTML layout engine (all OBML elements are pixel-positioned rects).
A working way to save/open OBML files on your PC

Nothing yet about OBML.
If the HTML is small in size you can simply upload the HTML to a file host or webspace, then access it using Opera mini then save it as OBML.

I'm doing an internship for an IT company which needs a document application for its firmware docs (md files).
The request was to maintain these md files and to convert them to rst format (I used pandoc). So now I have a configured Sphinx application with only rst files. The problem now is that some rst have links to SVG images, and I have to use the latex builder of Sphinx to convert them to PDFs.
I've searched around and I found this solution from 2 years ago, which was essentially what I was looking for: https://sites.google.com/site/nickfolse/home/sphinx-latexpdf-output-with-svg-images. I tried to implement it but I'm not an expert with GNU makefiles and I don't know if the current version of Sphinx allows it or if it is out there an easy workaround, so the thing didn't succeed.
Does someone have a viable solution for this?
At this time, SVG is still not supported. I work around it in Pyramid docs by exporting the original file (OmniGraffle) to both SVG and PNG.
In docs/narr/router.rst:
.. image:: ../_static/pyramid_request_processing.*
And we place images in docs/_static.
The HTML uses SVG and the PDF uses PNG.
There is available the Sphinx SVG to PDF converter extension to automatically convert from SVG to PDF.
i need a tuto about using pdf.js or viewejs to view pdf via browser. I found viewerjs.org but it doesn't help.
Any help thx in advance.
Try out pdf.js as it is very simple. Download the latest version here.
To show the pdf files traverse to web/viewer.html and it should load its default pdf.
As to the question about how to show your pdf's use: viewer.html?file=relative/path/to/your/pdf.
Say for example inside the web folder(the one in which viewer.html is there) of your pdf.js you create a directory say named pdfFiles and in it you add a pdf named say mypdf.pdf in it then to display it use: viewer.html?file=pdfFiles/mypdf.pdf and it will display it.
Almost all browsers are supported. Look here to know more about which all browsers are currently being supported.
I am searching for a product that converts HTML to PDF in VB. I have searched alot for the products, but most of them are very expensive or doesn't work very well. Can anyone suggest me of a good quality, working product?
Thanks
Try using mPDF. mPDF is a PHP class which generates PDF files from UTF-8 encoded HTML. Its free and works very good.

See WKHTMLPDF.
I have checked quality and used this tool. This is the good one and Opensource. This is shell utility to convert html to pdf using the webkit rendering engine, and qt.
I use htmldoc
Don't know if it fits your definition of "works very well", but for me, it does the trick.
A different approach is to install a print-to-pdf printer driver (such as freepdf), and print from the browser.
I am using Symfony1.4 with doctrine. I want to save a invoice template to PDF. How can i do this.
I use for this sfTCPDFPlugin
For converting HTML to PDF, I get the best results with Wkhtmltopdf. Because it uses the Webkit rendering engine (the same used in Chrome and Safari for example), the results are exactly the way you can see the HTML rendered in those browsers.
It is in fact just a binary you can run from the command-line, but an example PHP wrapper class is available from the website. I also did not find it very hard to write a wrapper class myself with some added functionality.
I want to create html file by which i could read any PDF file by providing the source of that PDF file. How can i do this by using only html5?
For example i want read a pdf file which is available in C drive so scr="http://virdir/mypdf.pdf".
I want something like this.
You want to use the developing HTML 5 File API. Mozilla has a good explanation, and you can also refer directly to the spec.
Since PDF is a binary format, you will probably want to use FileReader.readAsBinaryString().
Parsing and rendering (e.g. to a canvas) a PDF in JavaScript is possible, but it would be very challenging.
Here is an open source pdf reader written in javascript.
https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js
There are APIs available to play with. It comes built into Firefox browser and has good support from Mozilla community.
