HTML to PDF: CSS Paged media module

[Roland Dreger]

Does anyone know which CSS paged media module properties are supported by HTML to PDF API? Is there documentation for this somewhere?

Margins seems to work, boxes not:

@page {

	/* works */
	margin-top: 15mm;
	margin-bottom: 15mm;
	margin-left: 15mm;
	margin-right: 15mm;

	/* no result */
	@bottom-center {
		content: "– " counter(page) " –";
	}
}

Or better work with pagedjs.

Thanks
Roland

At the time of this writing the API supports Level 2.

The API also works with pagedjs for some features. Unfortunately, pagedjs sometimes creates invalid HTML that the browsers just kind of ignore but our API can't. I've not been able to work around these HTML errors.

Thanks for the answer and your experience, good to know.

To test what works, use pagedjs and view the generated page. Then save the HTML and open that in an editor. You'll see the errors immediately. Most have to do with calculated values. I even tried editing the source of pagedjs and couldn't get it to work.

I'm not going to try pagedjs after what you've written. Margins and page-break-before, - after is working fine. Maybe Adobe will extend this at some point.
