Hi,
we use other pdf generating objects for merging DB data and html to pdf. One of the most used features is calculating the height of a contentblock before rendering. This is used to detect if a content block can be rendered on the available page space after rendering content before this point. If not, we add a new page and start on top of the new page. Is this possible with e0.pdf?
thx!

Hi, Yes. You can do that. The most reliable way to calculate the content height is to render it on a separate PdfDocument object in memory. You would then get the output height from that PdfDocument object but discard the PdfDocument object itself. If you use our HTML to PDF feature, then you almost never need to worry about the page break. We will handle page breaks automatically. See here for more details: http://doc.essentialobjects.com/library/4/htmltopdf/paging.aspxHope this helps. Please feel free to let us know if you have any more questions. Thanks!
