Issues with flow converting HTML to PDF - Stuck in Landscape view?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 28

Hello everyone, I'm having issues trying to create a basic flow to convert a HTML table to a PDF. I'm following a video by Shane Young on YouTube. And everything seems to be functioning properly except the end result PDF. It looks like there is a problem with my HTML formating (beginner lvl) or the conversion where either the PDF is converted into landscape view or the table is too large? It gets cut off when it is converted.

 

Here is the flow:Flow

concat ('<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {width: 8.5in; height: 11in}
table, th, td {
 border: 1px solid black;
 border-collapse: collapse;
}
th, td {
 padding: 5px;
 text-align: left;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<h2>Foreman''s Daily Log</h2>

<table style="width:100%">
 
 <tr>
 <th>Project:</th>
 <th>proname</th>
 <th>Job #:</th>
 <th>jnum</th>
 <th>Date:</th>
 <th>datesel</th>

</table>
</body>
</html>')

    Hi @lokdawg78 ,

     

    I think this can scale the table by setting the adaptive properties of the HTML table.

    But I am not good at HTML tags, so I am not able to provide the best solution.

    What I can do is manually modify the width of HTML table so that all fields are displayed in PDF file.

    I did a test on my side, set the width to 5.5, and then convert the HTML file into a PDF file, and the fields will be displayed.

    Please take a try.

     

    Best Regards,
