TCPDF not render all CSS properties

Question

I try to make a PDF writing CSS and HTML but my CSS doesn\'t appear in my PDF. The only thing considered is the font-size and font-color.

I give you the code (sorry,

Answer 1

TCPDF 5.9.010 (2010-10-27) - Support for CSS properties 'border-spacing' and 'padding' for tables were added.

Answer 2

I recently ran into the same problem having the TCPDF work with my CSS. Take a look at the code below. It worked for me after I changed the standard CSS to a format PHP would understand

Code Sample Below

$table = '<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="55%">
          <tr valign="bottom">
                <td class="header1" rowspan="2" align="center" valign="middle"
                      width="6%">Category</td>
                <td class="header1" rowspan="2" align="center" valign="middle"
                      width="26%">Project Description</td>
          </tr></table>';

Answer 3

At the moment I write this, TCPDF only supports padding for tables.

Link to their forum page with that information

Answer 4

I recently ran into the same problem, and found a workaround though it'll only be useful if you can change the html code to suit.

I used tables to achieve my padded layout, so to create the equivalent of a div with internal padding I made a table with 3 columns/3 rows and put the content in the centre row/column. The first and last columns/rows are used for the padding.

eg.

<table>
<tr>
    <td width="10">&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td width="10">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>content goes here</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td width="10">&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td width="10">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>

Hope that helps.
