wengyanjiaji

i converted html containing a table to pdf with html2fpdf, but the result is very bad.

the following is my php code:

<?php
define('FPDF_FONTPATH','font/');
require_once('html2fpdf.php');
ob_start();
?>
<HTML>

<HEAD><TITLE></TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
  [COLOR="Red"]<table>[/COLOR]
      <tr>name <input type="text" name="name" /></tr>
      <tr>pass <input type="password" name="pass" /> </tr>
      <tr><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="submit" /></tr>
  [COLOR="Red"]</table>[/COLOR]
</BODY>
</HTML>

<?php
$html=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

$pdf = new HTML2FPDF("l","mm","A4");
$pdf->Open();
$pdf->AddBIG5Font();
$pdf->AddPage();

$pdf->WriteHTML($html);
$pdf->Output('doc.pdf','I');
?>

but the result is that the page of pdf is blank. why??

any help is appreciated.

$html = '

      <tr>name <input type="text" name="name" /></tr>
      <tr>pass <input type="password" name="pass" /> </tr>
      <tr><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="submit" /></tr>
  [color="Red"]</table>[/color]

$pdf = new HTML2FPDF("l","mm","A4");
$pdf->Open();
$pdf->AddBIG5Font();
$pdf->AddPage();

$pdf->WriteHTML($html);
$pdf->Output('doc.pdf','I');

Try that. Just out of interest.

Is it passing back an error? I had a similar problem, the way around it was to work out the HTML before loading the page and pass it through as a session.

no, it isn't. thanks for you suggestion, i will try it.

i have tried you code above, but it doesn't work, thanks anyway.

when i make a html page with DreamWeaver, it will display as i want. but it displays out of order with html2fpdf, so what is the html form of html2fpdf, can you give me an example? thanks.

As far as I know you just pass the table structure. No need for all the other standard HTML around it.

The table you've written is wrong too. It should follow this kind of structure...

<table>
<tr>
<td width="430">Title</td>
<td width="110">Price</td>
<td width="110">Quantity</td>
<td width="110">Total</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="430">Product 1</td>
<td width="110">£10</td>
<td width="110">2</td>
<td width="110">£20</td>
</tr>
</table>

All html tags aren't supported by html2fpdf. Please have a check here http://html2fpdf.sourceforge.net/features.php. U will understand.

Hi there.
I know I'm a bit late, but that page doesn't work anymore.

I'm using html2fpdf to create some pdf from my html, but I cannot automaticly use css (using $pdf->ReadCSS($html)😉...

My code is:

$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetAuthor('$author');
$pdf->SetTitle($title);
$pdf->UseCSS();
$pdf->ReadCSS("../css/pdf.css");
$pdf->WriteHTML($content);
$pdf->Output("sample.pdf");

This passes the html but not the css rules.
Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

I'm also having a problem... html2fpdf doesn't recognize properly. I cannot change the code which generates this line (I've tried). Any ideas? I want to display the font size changes

daltman, generally you would be required to start your own thread.

You will need to post some code so that we can see what you are doing.

"It doesn't work" / "it doesn't recognize" is not enough information for any of us to help you through it.

I would recommend posting a new thread with

1) The HTML Code you are trying to convert
2) The html2fpdf code you are using

daltman1967

Here is my code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<center>Study for 12/31/1969 - Deliverance</center>
<center> </center>
<center>Testing</center>
<center> </center>
<justify>Testing, testing, one, two, three.  Bold.  Italics.  Underline.  Red.  Blue.  BIG!</justify>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Once the above code is generated, I make a call to a .php file which contains the following:
$ft = $_GET['file'];
define('FPDF_FONTPATH','font/');
require_once('html2fpdf.php');
$pdf = new HTML2FPDF('P', 'mm', 'Letter');
$pdf->AddPage();
$fp = fopen("temppdf.html","r");
$strContent = fread($fp, filesize("temppdf.html"));
fclose($fp);
$pdf->WriteHTML($strContent);
$pdf->Output($ft, 'D');

my .html code is generated, in part, by openwysiwyg v1.4.7. That script uses the instead of the format. As far as I've tried, that code cannot be changed.

fpdf will properly process a command, but simply ignores the commands; there is no support for it. Within the file, there are comments that this section is unfinished for this particular version. As yet, I have been unable to find a newer version than fpdf version 1.52 and html2fpdf 3.0.

The scripts are correctly processing everything else except for the , so it's working great. It's just this last 'little' bug that's annoying me. Terminix, where are you when I need you? Any help is greatly appreciated. 😃
