CSS Multi-column Layout Module

Open Blakko opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, i recently started experimenting with your fork and it work very good so far. Now i'm trying to produce a PDF from a html page with a double column layout (achieved using the "column-number" property). The page is dynamic, so creating the columns in advance would be tricky. Is there any chance of having it implemented in the near future? Or do you have a workaround/another way to achieve the same result?

Thx

At the moment I'm waiting on the release of Pdfbox 2.0 so we can embed unicode fonts. I think implementing flowing columns will be difficult so no plans at this point. Your best bet (if you can change languages) is mpdf (php) or one of the webkit wrappers. Finally check that cssbox at sourceforge doesn't support columns. Sorry, I couldn't be more help.
