Say abcPdf to scale html to fit on one pdf page

Question

I am using abcPdf to convert an HTML report to a PDF file. PDF must be a single A4 page.

Do you know if there is a way to tell abcPdf to scale the HTML page to fit on one page in pdf? I tried to use the method

Answer 1

So, here is how I decided it.

First of all, I need the height of the HTML page that will be passed to the pdf generation method, so I added this on the page that will be pdf-ed:

<asp:HiddenField ID="hfHeight" runat="server" />

and in the code behind:

protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!IsPostBack)
    {
        string scriptKey = "WidhtHeightForPdf";
        if (!Page.ClientScript.IsClientScriptBlockRegistered(scriptKey))
        {
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            sb.AppendLine("<script>")
                .AppendLine("document.getElementById('" + hfHeight.ClientID + "').value = document.body.clientHeight;")
                .AppendLine("</script>");

            Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(typeof(Page), scriptKey, sb.ToString());
        }
    }
}

, pdf, HTML. , "pdf", pdf:

int intHTMLWidth = height.Value * Convert.ToInt32(theDoc.Rect.Width / theDoc.Rect.Height);

BrowserWidth HtmlOptions theDoc:

theDoc.HtmlOptions.BrowserWidth = intHTMLWidth;

url theDoc:

int theID = theDoc.AddImageUrl(url, true, intHTMLWidth, true);

EDIT: , . - pdf HTML, pdf .

    /// <summary>
    /// Calculate the height of given html
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="html"></param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public int CalculateHeight(string html)
    {
        int id = _Document.AddImageHtml(html);
        int height = (int)(_Document.GetInfoInt(id, "ScrollHeight") * PixelToPointScale);
        _Document.Delete( id );
        return height;
    }

[] Well scrollHeight ver8, ,

    private int AddImageHtml(string html)
    {
        try
        {
            return _Document.AddImageHtml("<div id='pdfx-div-pdf-frame' class='abcpdf-tag-visible' style='abcpdf-tag-visible: true; border: 1px solid red'>" + html + "</div>");
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            throw new Exception(html, ex);
        }
    }

    private double GetElementHeight(int id)
    {
        abcpdf.XRect[] tagRects = _Document.HtmlOptions.GetTagRects(id);
        string[] tagIds = _Document.HtmlOptions.GetTagIDs(id);

        for (int i=0;i<tagRects.Length;i++)
        {
            abcpdf.XRect rect = tagRects[i];
            string tagId = tagIds[i];
            if (string.Equals(tagId, "pdfx-div-pdf-frame", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase))
            {
                return rect.Height;
            }
        }
        return -1;
    }

If you use the Gecko engine, this engine does not support "GetInfoInt", so we need to write some javascript to get the height. Make the dummy render first to determine the height, and then set this height to the original AbcDoc.

using (var tempDoc = new Doc())
                {
                    tempDoc.HtmlOptions.Engine = EngineType.Gecko;
                    tempDoc.HtmlOptions.Media = MediaType.Print;
                    tempDoc.HtmlOptions.UseScript = true;
                    if (width.HasValue)
                        tempDoc.HtmlOptions.BrowserWidth = width.Value;

                    tempDoc.HtmlOptions.OnLoadScript = " window.onbeforeprint = function () { document.documentElement.abcpdf = Math.max( document.body.scrollHeight, document.body.offsetHeight, document.documentElement.clientHeight, document.documentElement.scrollHeight, document.documentElement.offsetHeight );}";
                    int theTempID = tempDoc.AddImageHtml(htmlData);

                    int height = Convert.ToInt32(tempDoc.HtmlOptions.GetScriptReturn(theTempID));

                    tempDoc.Clear();
                    tempDoc.Dispose();

                    theDoc.MediaBox.Height = height;
                    theDoc.Rect.String = theDoc.MediaBox.String;
                    theDoc.AddImageHtml(htmlData);
                }
