Custom pdf layout export from list

[ivicacevis]

Hi,

can you explain me how to get report with specific letters

I followed https://fabrikar.com/forums/index.php?wiki/pdf-output/
created custom template

added the part for font

but letters are not supported / encoded

Find all Unicode Characters from Hieroglyphs to Dingbats – Unicode Compart

U+010D is the unicode hex value of the character Latin Small Letter C with Caron. Char U+010D, Encodings, HTML Entitys:č,č,č, UTF-8 (hex), UTF-16 (hex), UTF-32 (hex)

The syntax is
* {font-family:'dejavu sans'!important}
i.e. asterix+space before {

tnx, put that, output is the same

some characters are not encoded properly

 

[troester]

Please don't change the structure given in the cusstom_css_example.php

* Don't edit anything outside of the BEGIN and END comments.
.....
*/

header('Content-type: text/css');
$c = $_REQUEST['c'];
echo <<<EOT
/* BEGIN - Your CSS styling starts here */

#listform_$c {
    margin-top: 25px !important;
}

/* END - Your CSS styling ends here */
EOT;

So do

/* BEGIN - Your CSS styling starts here */

* {font-family:'dejavu sans'!important}

/* END - Your CSS styling ends here */

tnx. how to make additional improvements?:
example in attachment
1. table look
2. bold font
3. different size of font
4. insert additional rows, which are not in database
5. fit to one A4 page
6. alignment in cell

Page size and orientation are set in the PDF layout settings.

You'll need a custom list template.

The rest is HTML and CSS, not Fabrik.

e.g. stuff like
table {page-break-inside: avoid;}
xy {page-break-before:always;}

Google/AI/... is your friend.

Some examples what you can do
