Hi,

I am in need to export an HTML page to PDF. However, I want to place an image on a specific location on the exported PDF. Is this doable with the current PDF Export feature?

 

Thank you,

If this feature is not supported, at least, can I place a transparent image on the export PDF and then later on using itext library or others, be able to find out that image and replace it with something else?

 

Thanks

Hello,

You may use the special k-pdf-export CSS selector in combination with a selector for the corresponding image to make that image visible for the ClientExportManager when exporting. You may hide it initially with display none and change its display to block with this selector. Thus, the image will be visible for the export only.

Thanks Dimitar,

What I am after is that, I want to embed maybe a text/image, then when I load the PDF using itext library to parse the PDF, I want to detect that placeholder inside the PDF. 

 

Thanks

Hi,

The PDF Export allows you to change the appearance with some styles applied through the corresponding CSS class from my previous post. You could manipulate the page with JavaScript, if you would like to place something on it while exporting and then remove it after export is complete. This approach, however, is out of the scope of the PDF Export.
