Font size in html strings

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,
I'm in desperate need of your help.
To ilustrate the problem I modified the sample program located in C:\Program Files\Quick PDF Library\Samples\CPlusPlus\cplusplus-dll-helloworld.zip .

I commented out the QP.DrawText line and added the QP.DrawHTMLText bellow:

	// Draw the 'Hello World' text on the PDF page
	//QP.DrawText(100, 500, "Hello world from C++");
   int index = 500;
	QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font>Hello world from C++</font>");
	QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=9>Hello world from C++</font>");
	QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=13>Hello world from C++</font>");
	QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=18>Hello world from C++</font>");
	QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=\"9.0pt\">Hello world from C++</font>");
	QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=\"11.5pt\">Hello world from C++</font>");
	QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=\"18.5pt\">Hello world from C++</font>");
	QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=\"9\">Hello world from C++</font>");
	QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=\"11\">Hello world from C++</font>");
	QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=\"18\">Hello world from C++</font>");

The resulted pdf will contain the strings seen here: http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/4795/pdfs.jpg
As you can see any attempt to set the font size will cause it become so small that is unreadeble.
What am I doing wrong?

PS: I am using version 7.15

Thank you for any help,
Cristian

	Thanks for the quick reply, in the sample code I sent you I already tried this. See: QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=\"9\">Hello world from C++</font>"); QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=\"11\">Hello world from C++</font>"); QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=\"18\">Hello world from C++</font>"); Regards, Cristian

	Yes... That i mentioned. Remove the slashes. I think it was interpreted in a faulty way? Cheers, Ingo

	In C/C++ " is treated as begening of a string if you want your strings to contain " you have to you the escape character \ . I assure you that the string that DrawHTMLText will get ist actually <font size="18">Hello world from C++</font> whith no slashes. Thanks, Cristian

	Hi Cristian, I work for Quick PDF Library. I've checked our support system and was not able to locate a support case that contained your name or was about the subject you've written about here. Did you receive an automated response which contained your support case number after you submitted your support query? If so, can you let me know what the case number is? If not, email me at support@quickpdflibrary.com and I'll help you. Cheers, - Rowan.
