Letting the Javascript finish before rendering pdf in ABC pdf

问题


I'm trying to make a pdf of a web page that is displaying locations on Google Maps. The only problem is that the Javascript isn't quite completing by the time that ABCpdf renders the pdf. It's incomplete. How can I make ABDpdf wait until the javascript is 100% complete before the pdf is rendered. Here is what I've tried so far.

Doc theDoc = new Doc();
            string theURL = url;
            // Set HTML options
            theDoc.HtmlOptions.AddLinks = true;
            theDoc.HtmlOptions.UseScript = true;
            theDoc.HtmlOptions.PageCacheEnabled = false;
            //theDoc.HtmlOptions.Engine = EngineType.Gecko;
            // JavaScript is used to extract all links from the page

            theDoc.HtmlOptions.OnLoadScript = "var hrefCollection = document.all.tags(\"a\");" +
              "var allLinks = \"\";" +
              "for(i = 0; i < hrefCollection.length; ++i) {" +
              "if (i > 0)" +
              "  allLinks += \",\";" +
              "allLinks += hrefCollection.item(i).href;" +
              "};" +
              "document.documentElement.abcpdf = allLinks;";
            // Array of links - start with base URL
            theDoc.HtmlOptions.OnLoadScript = "(function(){window.ABCpdf_go = false; setTimeout(function(){window.ABCpdf_go = true;}, 1000);})();";
            ArrayList links = new ArrayList();
            links.Add(theURL);
            for (int i = 0; i < links.Count; i++)
            {
                // Stop if we render more than 20 pages
                if (theDoc.PageCount > 20)
                    break;
                // Add page
                theDoc.Page = theDoc.AddPage();
                int theID = theDoc.AddImageUrl(links[i] as string);
                // Links from the rendered page
                string allLinks = theDoc.HtmlOptions.GetScriptReturn(theID);
                string[] newLinks = allLinks.Split(new char[] { ',' });
                foreach (string link in newLinks)
                {
                    // Check to see if we allready rendered this page
                    if (links.BinarySearch(link) < 0)
                    {
                        // Skip links inside the page
                        int pos = link.IndexOf("#");
                        if (!(pos > 0 && links.BinarySearch(link.Substring(0, pos)) >= 0))
                        {
                            if (link.StartsWith(theURL))
                            {
                                links.Add(link);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
                // Add other pages
                while (true)
                {
                    theDoc.FrameRect();
                    if (!theDoc.Chainable(theID))
                        break;
                    theDoc.Page = theDoc.AddPage();
                    theID = theDoc.AddImageToChain(theID);
                }
            }
            // Link pages together
            theDoc.HtmlOptions.LinkPages();
            // Flatten all pages
            for (int i = 1; i <= theDoc.PageCount; i++)
            {
                theDoc.PageNumber = i;
                theDoc.Flatten();
            }

            byte[] theData = theDoc.GetData();

            Response.Buffer = false; //new
            Response.Clear();
            //Response.ContentEncoding = Encoding.Default;
            Response.ClearContent(); //new
            Response.ClearHeaders(); //new
            Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"; //new
            Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=farts");

            Response.AddHeader("content-length", theData.Length.ToString());
            //Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
            Response.BinaryWrite(theData);
            Response.End();

            theDoc.Clear();

I had a very similar problem (rendering Google Visualization as PDF) and here's the trick that I used to partially solve it:

First of all, your JavaScript needs to be executed on DOMContentLoaded rather than on load (you will understand why just in a moment). Next create an empty page that will serve content by a timer (you can just use System.Threading.Thread.Sleep to make the page "wait" for a certain amount of time).

Then place a hidden image on the page that you want to render as PDF and that contains JavaScript that needs to be executed before the PDF can be produced. The "src" attribute of an image must have a URL pointing to your timer page (in the following example I specify the delay in milliseconds via query-string):

<img src="Timer.aspx?Delay=1000" style="width: 1px; height: 1px; visibility: hidden" />

Notice that I use visibility: hidden instead of display: none to hide the image. The reason is that some browsers might not start loading the image until it's visible.

Now what will happen is that ABCpdf will wait until the image is loaded while your JavaScript will be executing already (because the DOMContentLoaded is fired before load which waits until all images are loaded).

Of course you cannot predict how much time exactly do you need to execute your JavaScript. Another thing is that if ABCpdf is unable to load page within 15 seconds (default value but I think you can change it) it will throw an exception so be careful when choosing the delay.

Hope this helps.

In my case, we were upgrading v8 to v9 and generating a thumbnail image of a webpage that also required extensive javascript CSS manipulation for object positioning. When we switched to v9, we noticed the objects were duplicated (showing in their original position and the position that they were supposed to be located in after js).

The workaround that I applied was using the RenderDelay and OneStageRender properties to change how the page rendering is handled to PDF. The 500 is ms, so 1/2 second. The bigger culprit seemed to be the OneStageRender. That had to be disabled in order for rendering to handle properly.

doc.SetInfo(0, "RenderDelay", "500")
doc.SetInfo(0, "OneStageRender", 0)

Try making your script block into a javascript function, and call that function from the document.ready() function at the top of your file. I assume you're using jQuery. The ready() function will ensure all page elements have stabilized before it calls any functions in its body.
