pdf document without any margins

[sherifdarwish]

Hi,

I am trying to control the pdf page margin as my CSS & HTML removes any margins or padding but the resulting PDF or PDF Preview always shows white margin around my content, this screen shows what i am trying to do

I also noticed that print attributes were not set in case of saving the PDF file and i tried to set it in File output by updating PrintAttributes in printManager but this did not fix my problem

        PrintAttributes attributes = new PrintAttributes.Builder()
        .setMediaSize(PrintAttributes.MediaSize.ISO_A4)
        .setResolution(new PrintAttributes.Resolution("pdf", "pdf", 600, 600))
        .setMinMargins(PrintAttributes.Margins.NO_MARGINS).build();  

        printManager.print(PRINT_JOB_NAME, pdfPrinter, attributes);

I found this issue but it is talking about IOS only https://github.com/cesarvr/pdf-generator/issues/7

Hi I try to add attribute as you mention the print method is ignoring it, so I'll need more time to solve this if you find a solution feel free to send a pull request 👍.

It looks like is a bug in Android API https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/69352609, hope you find a workaround.

Thanks

I found some java android apps doing the same printing directly and not having the same margin

It end out that they use a web view inside relative layout and this layout have some xml property to clear any padding around

I was not able to apply the same concept for our generated web view

I will try to share some sample soon for this

Regards

Hi I'm having the same problem.. need to remove the extra padding added to the pdf. Any solution on that?

Thanks!

Found a solution if someone is still interested: it seems it's related to web-view css proprieties: I added this in my css or in style region of the html page: @page{ margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding:0px; }

And for IOS, there are some margins inserted by default in code in file "cordova-pdf-generator\src\ios\BNHtmlPdfKit.m"

(id)init { if (self = [super init]) { self.pageSize = [BNHtmlPdfKit defaultPageSize]; self.landscape = NO;

    // Default 1/4" margins
    self.topAndBottomMarginSize =0.25f * 72.0f;
    self.leftAndRightMarginSize = 0.25f * 72.0f;
}
return self;

}

Set these two to 0: self.topAndBottomMarginSize =0; self.leftAndRightMarginSize = 0;

The same in next 3 functions.
