Hello,

I have a requirement where I want to build a html file out of a template which would have some special characters i.e Greek characters.

The html file is generated properly and even the alphabets are also displayed eg:

<td rowspan="1" colspan="1"><p>β</p></td>

But when the same file is converted to PDF using the HTML to PDF plugin the Greek alphabets are not displayed.

We are currently using:
1. HTML Doc from Template to generate the HTML document.
2. HTML to PDF plugin to convert the HTML into a PDF.
Can any one suggest what we can do here ,any configuration we can use?

Regards,

Salil Raje

Hi, if the image size is > 100kb, the image is not added to the pdf. Is there a size limitation for included images?

Hi, Facing an issue to render the image's in the PDF. Images are stored in the appian application folder.

Seems like we may need to convert all those images into base 64 but unable to find an option to convert an image to base64 string from rule directly.

Suggest me the best way to render the images in PDF that are stored in the appian folder.

The plug in is compliant to the OpenHTML2PDF standard. So, your HTML code has to be also, otherwise it is not working.
For examples you can look here: Appian rocks
For testing you can check here: OpenHTML2PDF
