Floating in CakePdf

Need Help
1

Hello,

is it possible that floating in CakePdf doesn’t work?

I want to create this:

<div style="float: right;">
        <img  src="img/logo.png" />
    </div>

but it doesn’t work (the div doesn’t move).

On the other hand something like this work:

style="width:600px;

What is the problem?

Thanks for help

Mitch

It depends on the rendering engine that you are using. WkHTMLToPDF supports floats (Since it uses the webkit rendering engine in the background), but the others do not support it.

thanks fot the answer,

I put the code in the bootstrap:

Configure::write('CakePdf', array(
'engine' => 'CakePdf.WkHtmlToPdf',
'orientation' => 'portrait',
'download' => true

));

and in \Plugin\CakePdf\Pdf\Engine is the WkHtmlToPdfEngine.php.

but it doesn’t work.

How can i see which engine is loaded?

update:

i have to write the path for the WkHtmlToPdf.exe in Configure like that:

‘binary’ => ‘files/wkhtmltopdf.exe’

Now the file is discover.

But now i get the message:

WKHTMLTOPDF didn’t return any data

If i change the engine to: 'CakePdf.DomPdf_ it works, but without the floating.

Why there are no any data?

What happens if you run wkhtmltopdf manually in command prompt?
