Hi Mehran,
I think I need you to be a little more specific; what are you trying to accomplish? What do you mean “parse” a PDF file?

I know it’s off topic but I need help. Can I parse and display (ofcourse!) an existing pdf file with alivePDF?

Gauri,
It’s hard to tell from the information provided. I would try and distinguish whether the problem is with the rows and their content or how/where they are being added to the PDF. Try adding those same troublesome rows to a new PDF without the preceding content and see if they show up. If they still don’t show up you know it’s problem with those rows.

Hi Kalen,

very nice project, it helped me lot. but i am facing a problem.
i have vbox to print to pdf. the vbox contains of 5×4 matrix. i have used tile container.
height of each row changes as per the text user inputs. so while exporting this to pdf i have divided it into 5 boxes 1st is heading i export this heading using addimage then i export 1st row again using add image. after this i check the height of content added if it is exceeding height of page then i am adding new page, again adding heading box and then the content remaining.
heading is displayed properly as required, also first row is displayed and placed properly in pdf. problem is with the remaining rows. they are getting added and placed properly as image but are not displayed. what issue it can be?
i am using 0.1.5RC alivepdf

Hi Zamás,
The pdfCreator.php file is just a copy of the create.php that comes with the AlivePDF download. I just checked and I don’t think it’s included in the 0.1.5RC download, but if you download the older 0.1.4.9 version you’ll find it in the “Core” directory.

Hi!

In the code was this line:

“http://kalengibbons.com/assets/pages/pdfCreator.php”

How can I get this PHP file?

Thanks!

Hi Kalen,
I am using the following code to generate a page based on selected size dymanically.I am passing with selected view stack.But my problem is,the viewstack is not fitted fully to selected page, leaving white space to the right side as:
myPDF = new PDF();
var page:Page;
page = new Page ( Orientation.LANDSCAPE, Unit.MM, Size.LETTER);
myPDF.addPage ( page );
var imageSnap:ImageSnapshot = ImageSnapshot.captureImage(selViewStack,300,new JPEGEncoder(),false);
var imageByteArray:ByteArray = imageSnap.data as ByteArray;
var resMode rg.alivepdf.layout.Resize = new org.alivepdf.layout.Resize(Mode.FIT_TO_PAGE,Position.LEFT);
myPDF.setDisplayMode(Display.FULL_PAGE, Layout.SINGLE_PAGE, PageMode.USE_NONE, 1);
myPDF.addImageStream(imageByteArray, ColorSpace.DEVICE_RGB,resMode);
myPDF.save( Method.REMOTE, ApplicationConstants.uploadPdfBytesURL,”",”mypdf”+”.pdf”);

What would be the problem.How to fit the viewstack to entire page without white space.
Thanks
Srini
