Page size?

[hahmed]

I was wondering how do I set the page width/size?

WkhtmlToPDF (according to http://madalgo.au.dk/~jakobt/wkhtmltoxdoc/wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-doc.html)

Exposes the option –-page-width

Does #4 fix this issue? I could move out the helper into its own class and make a pull request if that is the only feature outstanding?

Hi Haroon,

The feature you are asking for it's implemented in this pull-request https://github.com/pruiz/WkHtmlToXSharp/pull/4 which I have not been able to merge yet due to time constraints. As I cannot apply a direct merge using github due to some minor issues.

I have tested the width and height from this pull request #4, but it throws a memory is currupt exception?

Hi,

How are you testing your code changes? Memory corruption issues are normally related to incorrect usage of the component by using it from two or more consecutive app. Domains.. Which provokes a corruption of the underlaying library memory..

Keep in mind that tlwe are using a native library under the hood

I am running my code inside an asp.net mvc controller - the code is run on the default server from visual studio... I am not running an Async controller.

This works without using the Page Width or Page Height props... As soon as I use those two properties I get the exception...

    private MultiplexingConverter _GetConverter()
    {
        var obj = new MultiplexingConverter();
        //obj.Begin += (s, e) => _Log.DebugFormat("Conversion begin, phase count: {0}", e.Value);
        //obj.Error += (s, e) => _Log.Error(e.Value);
        //obj.Warning += (s, e) => _Log.Warn(e.Value);
        //obj.PhaseChanged += (s, e) => _Log.InfoFormat("PhaseChanged: {0} - {1}", e.Value, e.Value2);
        //obj.ProgressChanged += (s, e) => _Log.InfoFormat("ProgressChanged: {0} - {1}", e.Value, e.Value2);
        //obj.Finished += (s, e) => _Log.InfoFormat("Finished: {0}", e.Value ? "success" : "failed!");
        return obj;
    }

    private byte[] GetMyPdf()
    {
        using (var wk = _GetConverter())
        {
            wk.GlobalSettings.Margin.Top = "2cm";
            wk.GlobalSettings.Margin.Bottom = "2cm";
            wk.GlobalSettings.Margin.Left = "2cm";
            wk.GlobalSettings.Margin.Right = "2cm";

            wk.GlobalSettings.Size.PageSize = PdfPageSize.A4; //works

            //wk.GlobalSettings.Size.Height= 40; // does not works
           // wk.GlobalSettings.Size.Width=20; //does not works

            wk.ObjectSettings.Web.EnablePlugins = false;
            wk.ObjectSettings.Web.EnableJavascript = false;

            using (var stream = new MemoryStream(ReadHtmlFromFile(@"C:\Projects\test.xhtml")))
            using (var sr = new StreamReader(stream))
            {
                var str = sr.ReadToEnd();
                var tmp = wk.Convert(str);
                return tmp;
            }
        }
    }

    private byte[] ReadHtmlFromFile(string filePath)
    {
        using (FileStream fileStream = System.IO.File.OpenRead(filePath))
        {
            MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream();
            memStream.SetLength(fileStream.Length);
            fileStream.Read(memStream.GetBuffer(), 0, (int)fileStream.Length);
            return memStream.ToArray();
        }
    }

My Controller:

public ActionResult GetMePDF()
    {
        var buffer = GetMyPdf();

        return File(buffer, "application/pdf");
    }

Can you try it from a simple console app?

I just published a new version (1.2.5+) supporting PageSize properties (from a pull-req from @tomdenny), so I am closing this issue too.
