Hi Lee

What does “no styles” actually mean? If it’s a font issue, one bug I’ve found 
is if your font name is enclosed in quotes, i.e. ‘Century Gothic’, as per the 
CSS standard, XMLworker will ignore it and use a built in font (Arial, 
Helvetica), so simply remove the quotes. If the “style” issue is something 
else, please be specific, or show your HTML / stylesheet.

Cheers

Dean

Subject: Re: [iText-questions] IText, XMLWorker & CSS

OK.  Thanks again.  I was trying that default resolver after spotting it in the 
API but I'm still not having much luck (PDF's are still being created with no 
styles).  The HTML does use relative paths for it's CSS files though so maybe  
I have the LinkProvider setup incorrectly.  I'll get a few tests going with 
simple HTML pages with absolute links and see how it does.

Thanks for the help

Lee,

you have any more guidance on this subject?

If there's a CSS mentioned in the file, then it will get preference over the 
default CSS.

That makes things simpler:
        CSSResolver cssResolver =
                XMLWorkerHelper.getInstance().getDefaultCssResolver(true);
Note that the true means that default.css (shipped with XML Worker) will be 
used as basis.
If you don't want this, you can set the parameter to false.


I had a look through the mailing list archives and a few questions said I 
should use flying saucer with iText but I'm assuming this solution is a 
pre-XMLWorker one.

Flying Saucer is a third party library that uses an old version of iText.
It predates XML Worker.
We aren't responsible for Flying Saucer, so we can't comment on its use.

We're currently working on examples.

For instance:

        // step 1
        Document document = new Document();

        // step 2
        PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new 
FileOutputStream(file));
        writer.setInitialLeading(12.5f);

        // step 3
        document.open();

        // step 4

        XMLWorkerHelper helper = XMLWorkerHelper.getInstance();
        // CSS
        CSSResolver cssResolver = new StyleAttrCSSResolver();
        CssFile cssFile = helper.getCSS(new 
FileInputStream("resources/demo2/walden.css"));
        cssResolver.addCss(cssFile);

        // HTML
        XMLWorkerFontProvider fontProvider = new XMLWorkerFontProvider();
        fontProvider.register("C:/windows/fonts/GARA.TTF");
        fontProvider.register("C:/windows/fonts/GARAIT.TTF");
        fontProvider.register("C:/windows/fonts/GARABD.TTF");
        fontProvider.addFontSubstitute("lowagie", "garamond");
        CssAppliers cssAppliers = new CssAppliersImpl(fontProvider);
        HtmlPipelineContext htmlContext = new HtmlPipelineContext(cssAppliers);
        htmlContext.setTagFactory(Tags.getHtmlTagProcessorFactory());

        // Pipelines
        PdfWriterPipeline pdf = new PdfWriterPipeline(document, writer);
        HtmlPipeline html = new HtmlPipeline(htmlContext, pdf);
        CssResolverPipeline css = new CssResolverPipeline(cssResolver, html);

        XMLWorker worker = new XMLWorker(css, true);
        XMLParser p = new XMLParser(worker);
        p.parse(new FileInputStream("results/demo2/walden.html"));

        // step 5
        document.close();

Hi all,

I'm having trying to use iText (v5.2) & the XMLWorker (v1.1.2) tool to generate 
a PDF.  Trouble is that the resulting PDF doesn't appear to be using any of the 
CSS styles defined on the page.  Images are there but no CSS.  I've followed 
the XMLWorker documentation from 
http://demo.itextsupport.com/xmlworker/itextdoc/flatsite.html but it's looking 
out of date with the current version.  The main problem at the moment at the 
moment is this line in the documentation:

HtmlPipelineContext htmlContext = new HtmlPipelineContext();

With the versions I am using, the constructor of HtmlPipelineContext requires a 
CssAppliers class.  I'm supplying a null object for now as I have no idea how 
to get my hands on a CssAppliers class but could this be what is causing my PDF 
to come out with no CSS styles applied?  Does anyone have any idea how I get my 
hands on a CssAppliers instance? The API docs didn't shed much light on the 
situation.

Can anyone help me get past this step?  I've attempted to attach my test class 
so you can see what I'm trying to do.  No idea how attachments work with this 
mailing list though...

Regards,
Lee
