Html to PDF: CSS width property

[leonardocunico]

Hi, I’m trying to convert an HTML string to Pdf, and I’m facing the following issue: the CSS width property is apparentely ignored, at least on divs and tables.
I tried using both px values and percent values, but to no avail.

Here some simple examples I tried that work on an HTML page and don’t when converted to PDF (omitting the html and body tags):

<div>
    <div style=“display: inline-block; width: 250px;”>aa</div>

<div style=“display: inline-block; width: 250px;”>bb</div>

</div>
<div>

<div style=“display: inline-block; width: 33%;”>aa</div>

<div style=“display: inline-block; width: 33%;”>bb</div>

</div>
<div style=“width: 100%”> 

<div style=“display: inline-block; width: 33%;”>aa</div>

<div style=“display: inline-block; width: 33%;”>bb</div>

</div>
As I already said, same goes for tables.
I’m doing something wrong?
Thanks.

Dear leonardo,

Thanks for using our API’s.

I have tested your html string and have managed to generate output file, which looks correct to me. Please check the attached input html file and also the pdf file generated by the Java API. Below is the code snippet for conversion

HtmlLoadOptions htmloptions = new HtmlLoadOptions();
// Load HTML file
Document doc = new Document("/Users/fahadadeel/Downloads/resources/input.html", htmloptions);
// Save HTML file
doc.save("/Users/fahadadeel/Downloads/resources/output.pdf");

If you still face any issue then please share your sample code, so we will test it further.

Best Regards,
