[Zope] RE: html2pdf truncating html content

Mon Jul 17 09:30:12 EDT 2006

Refinement of problem statement:

The DTML file on which html2pdf is called is populated by a python
script which builds and returns html by processing a list of objects in
a for loop.  The html content which is missing from the pdf is generated
inside the for loop.  As said before though, the information built in
the for loop is displayed in the DTML when it is viewed as a webpage.

The python is below:

data = [n for n in context.objectValues(['RDMA Narrative','RDMA
Indicator']) if n.country==selectedCountry] 

body=""

##TITLE PAGE
body+="<h1>%s</h1>\n" % selectedCountry
body+="<!-- PAGE BREAK -->\n"

##BODY
for d in data:
  body+="%s\n" % (d.title)
  if d.meta_type == 'RDMA Indicator':
    if hasattr(d,'xltohtml'):
      body+=d.xltohtml()
  elif d.meta_type == 'RDMA Narrative':
    body+="<h3>%s</h3>" % d.narrativeType
    body+=d.narrativeText
  body+="<!-- PAGE BREAK -->\n"

return body

Subject: [Zope] RE: html2pdf truncating html content

I'm using html2pdf and it seems to be truncating the content.  The html
on which html2pdf is:

<html>
<head><title>Narrative Report</title></head>
<body>

<h1>PNG</h1>
<!-- PAGE BREAK -->
<h2>Narrative: PNG- Challenge Situation</h2>
<!-- PAGE BREAK -->
<h2>Narrative: PNG- Key Accomplishments</h2>
<!-- PAGE BREAK -->
<h2>Narrative: PNG- Program Performance</h2>

<!-- PAGE BREAK -->
<h2>Narrative: PNG- Success Stories</h2>
<!-- PAGE BREAK -->
<h2>Table 1-2 PNG</h2>
<!-- PAGE BREAK -->
<h2>Table 1-4 PNG</h2>
<!-- PAGE BREAK -->
<h2>Narrative: PNG- Annex II</h2>
<!-- PAGE BREAK -->
<h2>Narrative: PNG- Annex III</h2>
<!-- PAGE BREAK -->

</body>
</html>

The html which html2pdf is writing to the pdf though is:
<html>
<head><title>Narrative Report</title></head>
<body>

<h1>PNG</h1>
<!-- PAGE BREAK -->

</body>
</html>

I'm at a loss to explain the truncation.  Can anyone offer some
suggestions?
