I have an html that is automatically generated by a wysiwyg component (a text editor) and within one of the texts I generated, this one has a table and this table appears normally in html, however I need this table to appear in the pdf I am generating.

The PDF is coming out like this: O PDF ESTÁ SAINDO ASSIM:

And I wanted it to come out like this, like in my html: SOLUÇÃO

<?php
session_start();
include('mpdf60/mpdf.php');

$mpdf = new mPDF(
             '',    // mode - default ''
             '',    // format - A4, for example, default ''
             0,     // font size - default 0
             '',    // default font family
             15,    // margin_left
             15,    // margin right
             58,     // margin top
             0,    // margin bottom
             6,     // margin header
             0,     // margin footer
             'L');  // L - landscape, P - portrait
$mpdf->SetDisplayMode('fullpage');



$paragrafo = "<p style=\"text-align:justify;line-height:150%\">
                    <span style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: windowtext;\">
                        <!--<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>-->
                    </span>
              </p>
              <table class=\"table\" border=\"2\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" style=\"width: 940px;\" align=\"\">
                <tbody>
                    <tr>
                        <td style=\"text-align: center;\">
                            <span style=\"font-size: large; background-color: rgb(153, 153, 153);\">2. OBJETIVO</span>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                </tbody>
              </table>";


$mpdf->WriteHTML($paragrafo);

$mpdf->Output();

exit;
?>

    Alexandre, try to generate this table outside the mpdf and then put it in, Oce does not need to use css inline, take a look at my answer about something similar: http://answall.com/questions/111332/como-creat-duas-divs-uma-ao-lado-da-outra-usando-mpdf/111348#111348

  • actually this html I’m not doing, it’s a wysiwyg (a text editor) that does it, so I can’t control this inline css

  • and I didn’t understand what you meant by "generate this table outside the mpdf and then put in"@Gabrielrodrigues

  • You said that in html it is correct and in mpdf it is wrong, if you play the html result in a normal html file or in https://jsfiddle.net/ it will come out well formatted or not ? It’s that $paragraph

  • yes, it exits correct in html file

  • But then how am I supposed to send it? which is in php that this is done, and are several texts, and not just this text, the variable $paragrafo joins the various texts, concatenating the

  • @Gabrielrodrigues unfortunately that’s not the problem, I put the html q ta giving problem, without the bars, in my php code and still does not appear in the generated pdf...

Your problem lies in using the direct border attribute in the table.

Unfortunately mpdf cannot perform this simple conversion:

<table border="2">
// Para
<table style='border:2px solid black;'>

So he ends up ignoring this setting.

Then you wonder, what are my alternatives ?

1 - You can report to mpdf and wait for a possible fix.

2 - You can look for a text editor that delivers border code in css.

3 - Or you can make an advanced RTA, for example, if you know that all your tables will have borders you can add a css of your own customizing mpdf.

Example:

$stylesheet = "table{
  width: 100%;
  text-align:center;
  border: 2px solid black;
}";

And then you add it to Writehtml:

$mpdf = new mPDF();
$mpdf->WriteHTML($stylesheet,1);
$mpdf->WriteHTML($html,2);

  • um, I’m going to test this here, this table, which will have the border, will come from an input text that will be the title, I believe that the other Tables that may arise will not have border (I hope hehe)

  • worked out, thanks for the help Gabriel :)
