Hi there,

I have an excel file with approximately 4500 rows of data, which I am converting to HTML. I can write perfectly, but I also want to write a PDF from this information. Reading through previous questions I can see you can't write straight from the HTML Report Generator, so I have added a Table Adder transformer before this, but it creates a completely blank PDF. I have used a combination of PDFStyler and PDFPageFormatter but still keep getting blank PDFs.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

 

Katie

Hi @andrewskl,

Could you share your Workspace template to see better this case?

Thanks,

The HTMLReportGenerator strips all geometry and just outputs an attribute with the HTML code. You won't be able to use that to write PDF so you'll need to set up two parallel streams. I agree with @danilo_fme, it'd be very useful if you could share your workspace so we have a better idea of what's going on.

Hi Andrew,

Did you have any success with this since?
