Text Overlap Issue in Landscape Oriented PDF Conversion #77

Open hellogeekzz opened 3 months ago

hellogeekzz commented 3 months ago

Issue When attempting to change the orientation to landscape in wkhtmltopdf by adding the --orientation parameter in MimeMessageConverter.java, the resulting PDF from a converted MSG file exhibits overlapping text issues.

Sample File I have attached a sample MSG file (Test email conversion.msg) for reproduction purposes: Yes

Additional Details Steps to Reproduce

  1. I clone the latest version of the project.
  2. Then I locate MimeMessageConverter.java.
  3. Modify the cmd list in the convert method as follows:

List cmd = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList( "wkhtmltopdf", "--viewport-size", VIEWPORT_SIZE, "--enable-local-file-access", "--orientation", "Landscape", //"--disable-smart-shrinking", "--image-quality", String.valueOf(IMAGE_QUALITY), "--encoding", charsetName));

  1. Convert the attached Test email conversion.msg using the updated code.
  2. Open the resulting PDF (Test email conversion.pdf) and observe the text overlap issue.

Expected Behavior The PDF should render in landscape orientation without any text overlap, similar to when using default portrait orientation.

Actual Behavior Text overlaps occur when the orientation is set to landscape.
