Use case:
We convert Html to PDF using your lib. And when we try to select and copy a table to Excel, the whole table is added to 1 cell.
Expectations:
Copied table rows and columns from generated PDF shall be pasted to Excel as separated cells. This means formatting shall be maintained.
Copy pasting a table from HTML to Excel works as expected, so maybe there is a property when converting Html to PDF, so it would work the same?
Thanks for contacting support.
Can you please share source files along with sample project to further investigate this issue. Also please share generated result and desired result as well.
InputStream targetStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(renderedHtmlTemplate.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
HtmlLoadOptions options = new HtmlLoadOptions();
options.setInputEncoding(StandardCharsets.UTF_8.name());
options.getPageInfo().setMargin(new MarginInfo(10, 10, 10, 10));
options.setEmbedFonts(true);
IDocument document = new Document(targetStream, options);
document.setIgnoreCorruptedObjects(true);
document.setFitWindow(true);
document.setLayersAdded(true);
document.setEmbedStandardFonts(true);
document.setAbsentFontTryToSubstitute(true);
document.save(outputStream);
