html support

[Gerry Danen]

I would like to import html templates that, with some variable replacements, can be written directly to the pdf document.

These templates involve html tables, but I cannot get the horizontal spacing right. I tried fixed width, percentages, in css and in the table, but the results are not what I need.

Are there rules, as to how TCPDF interpretes html? Is there a documentation file I missed?

Thanks for your help.

I do this but I do all my measurements in mm. eg.

<table width="150mm">

Do you use <style></style> or hardcode in the html, Simon?

I hardcode.

Thanks, Simon.

I have tinkered with some code and this works for me:

<style>
    .transmittalViewItems {
        border-collapse: collapse;
        border-spacing: 0px;
        width: 100%;
        margin: 0px;
        padding: 0px;
        font-size: 12px;
    }
    .transmittalViewItems td {
        padding: 1px 5px 2px 5px;
    }

    .columnLeft {
        text-align: left;
        vertical-align: top;
    }
    .columnCenter {
        text-align: center;
        vertical-align: top;
    }
    .column1 { width:  4%; }
    .column2 { width: 19%; }
    .column3 { width:  4%; }
    .column4 { width:  4%; }
    .column5 { width: 21%; }
    .column6 { width: 21%; }
    .column7 { width: 27%; }
</style>
<table class="transmittalViewItems">
    <tbody>
    <tr>
        <th class="columnCenter column1">No</th>
        <th class="columnLeft   column2">Design</th>
        <th class="columnCenter column3">Sh</th>
        <th class="columnCenter column4">Rev</th>
        <th class="columnLeft   column5">Thermon Document</th>
        <th class="columnLeft   column6">Client Document</th>
        <th class="columnLeft   column7">Title</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td class="columnCenter column1">$documentCount</td>
        <td class="columnLeft   column2">$zoneNumber</td>
        <td class="columnCenter column3">$sheet</td>
        <td class="columnCenter column4">$rev</td>
        <td class="columnLeft   column5">$thermonDrawing</td>
        <td class="columnLeft   column6">$clientDrawing</td>
        <td class="columnLeft   column7">$title</td>
    </tr>
    </tbody>
