The thing is I would like to have the three paragraphs in the same PDF separateley with a line break. CSS has properties for indicating the edge for each side of a component. You can set the page margins in two ways. There are properties for setting the edge for each side of a component (top, right, base, and left). Passing a page options object to the PDFDocument constructor will set the default paper size and layout for every page in the document, which is then overridden by individual options passed to the addPage method.

With CSS, you have full power over the margins. This includes Adobe Reader, Foxit Reader, and Firefox. Hi, Im new programming with nodejs and Im tryin to create some PDF Documents from a Browser request. The CSS margins properties are used to make space around components, outside any characterized borders. Note that only some PDF readers can view attachments. Set the page left margin (default 10mm) marginRight Unit, mm Set the page right margin (default 10mm) marginTop Unit, mm Set the page top margin orientation landscape/portrait Set orientation to Landscape or Portrait (default Portrait) pageHeight Unit, mm Page height pageSize Size Set paper size to: A4, Letter, etc. You only have to ensure that the element you use for "representing" a page ( wrapper in this example) has the same dimensions as the page's.Import ) * The selector applies the page break after, so we have to exclude the last wrapper */Īnd voila, you have a perfectly fitted template for rendering PDF data, with no magic spacing. Height: 160mm /* + 50 from vertical padding = 210 */ Width: 197mm /* + 100 from horizontal padding = 297 */ * To ensure no unexpected magic spacing */ Taking that into account, an example would be this: It secures that any magic spacing isn't setted when printing the HTML (via render, via web browser).
The good news are that not setting any margin/padding/positioning will not break things, so in some stuff it'll be good enough.īut what if you need to add margins or something like that? CSS's page-break properties (the linked one is page-break-after) comes to the rescue. So that means that adding any type of margin/padding/positioning will break things and create magic spacing, as the lengths aren't correct (even if you use the same dimension unit for those). If you don't need some fancy font, doc.font('Helvetica-Bold').text('will do the trick'). Another thought was to go to a custom PDFView library but the only ones I found when I last looked were iOS (not Cocoa) based. The problem gets when PDFKit, that it uses WebKit from what I know, renders HTML: WebKit only has a 3 decimal precision point value, so our 3.779528 pass to be 3.779 (it rounds towards down if I remember), which is not the real size. oknoorap pdfkit includes 16 fonts, and Helvetica is its default one (those don't seems to be documented elsewhere). The obvious (ie, easy) solution is to change the actual 'page size' in the PDFView and have wider margins, but of course PDFKit has no support for that (I don't think).
So, translating it into px (because its easier to set cm or mm instead of calculating manually pixels), we have that 1 mm = 3.779528 px. The first is by setting the margin property (singular) to a number, which applies that margin to all edges. Let's say I want to print a paper size A4 (you have a list here). The obvious (ie, easy) solution is to change the actual 'page size' in the PDFView and have wider margins, but of course PDFKit has no support for that (I dont think). You can set the page margins in two ways. Ok, I finally managed to understand what was happening: (Note: yeah, page-height is 1mm larger than height in HTML, but that is needed so the wrapper fits in the PDF page).Īnyone had meet this problem before? Thanks in advance. I tried different combinations of margins, paddings and heights and nothing: when I just add margins or paddings, the PDF gets crazy. I generate the PDF, and looks great (no surprises, all goes where it belongs).īut, if I add any margin/padding in the HTML and/or options, I just get a continued repetitive incremental margin when the PDF is generated (to give an example, in 50 pages, the first one has no margin, and the 50th has a margin of about two fingers more or less). In both cases I just don't add any margins or paddings. I'm using PDFKit with Python 2.7 and Django 1.9 to generate some HTML to PDF. Link for similar post would be thanked if founded, as I didn't found one. Although I just don't have the need to ask something normally (internet is just a gold mine, especially this site), this is getting me off, as I had been two days trying to get this working and I don't find anything useful.
