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

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

Thanks
for the info. That clears that part up. One more quick question on
this subject, the code your supplied will work when specifying the CSS
files myself but what if I want to use the ones included in the original
HTML (e.g. via <link> elements). Is this something XMLWorker
handles itself and if so, do 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.

//

CSSResolver cssResolver = new StyleAttrCSSResolver();

cssResolver.addCss(cssFile);
// HTML

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but it's looking out of date with the current version.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
