Hi Manish,
Please share the HTML file you are using for generating the pdf with us. We will check and get back to you.
Hello Team,
While generating the pdf using this plugin , I am getting a blank page in the start of the pdf. Can you please let us know why it is coming ? or what html tags are causing this blank page ?. The pdf contains only 1 page but after the generation a blank page comes as page one and the content in the next page.
Please suggest.
Manish
Hi
I have an html with images embedded in the body itself. But for such scenario the HTML to PDF converter is not working. I get error as follows:
"java.lang.Exception: Error while generating the PDF file. The PDF file will not be available."
If i check the html code; the html code has the image source mentioned in <img src> tag.
How can i get it resolved, kindly help!!
