Library or component HTML2PDF
GillesH:
Hello,
I'd like to know if it is possible for your team to build a library or a component HTML2PDF compatible with Windows/Linux 32 and 64bits. In the generated pdf files, I'd like to display tables including formated cells in miniHTML of TMS. If we suppose it is possible, what would be the cost specific to my company? What would be the cost of a component that would meet my specifications and would go into public domain after a few months and what would be the expected deadline for such a project?
Regards.

The fpPDF included with FPC (Trunk) and the soon to be released FPC 3.0.2 has the capabilities to generate all kinds of PDF documents (from simple to complex). It gives you the raw drawing primitives to accomplish what you need. So that part is not the problem. The question is more, how complex is the HTML that you want to convert to PDF? Does it use simple HTML like HTML 4 or much more complex HTML 5 features? Does it use extensive CSS for layouting, or is layouting done via HTML tables?
Can you supply a sample HTML file that you would like to convert? That will give a more clear indication of how complex the job will be.

Hello,
Thank you for the answer. The reality is that we don't seek to convert an HTML file to PDF. This would naturally require to make unnecessary HTML files.
Assuming a table of a database :
Rec id title im blob
1 1 First base64 <span style="color:blue">blue</span> eyes
2 2 Secund NULL <span style="background-color:yellow">My background is yellow</span>
We search the best way to get the result provided in the attachment. This has been achieved by using LibreOffice. I am not allowed to use a client base. We generally use NCReport (with Qt) to get pdf files.
Best regards. Gilles

LibreOffice simply does that in memory. But it still does the intermediate step. That's a programmer task.

Hello,
we don't want to use LibreOffice. We are looking for a solution integrated in Lazarus (library, component). Hence our request.
Regards. Gilles
