QWebview, alignment issue while printing the content to the printer.

jelari

Hi all,

Your advice will be really appreciatible.

I am doing the following:

I have a class derived from QWebView, and trying to pass the View to the printer.

My HTML Code:

@<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>I am a title</title>
</head>
<body>
<label> i am a label</label>
<br>
<br>
<table border="8px">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="red">add</td>
<td>asd</td>
<td>dfs</td>
<td>sdfds</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>sdfds</td>
<td><table border="2px" bgcolor="green" >
<tr>
td bgcolor="yellow">Hi i am just a String</td>
</tr>
</table></td>
<td>sdfsdf</td>
<td>sdfds</td>
</tr>

</table>

</body>
</html>@

Here is my Qt Code:

@ QPrinter printer;

 settings()->setAttribute(QWebSettings::PrintElementBackgrounds, true);
 settings()->setAttribute(QWebSettings::JavaEnabled, true);
 settings()->setAttribute(QWebSettings::JavascriptEnabled, true);
 settings()->setAttribute(QWebSettings::AutoLoadImages, true);

  printer.setFontEmbeddingEnabled(true);
  printer.setPageSize(QPrinter::A4);
  printer.setOrientation(QPrinter::Portrait);
  printer.setResolution(QPrinter::ScreenResolution);
  printer.setFullPage(true);




  QPrintDialog *dlog = new QPrintDialog (&printer, this);

  qDebug () <<" Printing... ";

  if ( dlog->exec &#40;&#41;  != QDialog::Accepted)
  {
      qDebug () <<"Printing Not accepted.. :( ";

  }
  else
  {

      page()->mainFrame()->print(&printer);

  }

}@

PROBLEM:

The output is displayed properly in the QWebView Page, but while printing, the text alignment going for a toss.

Kindly suggest if i missed out something or need to add more ?..

Also, i am not sure if the above problem relates to this issue ?

My workaround consist on saving the rendereded HTML to image. But i am blocked in printing the image!

I have the same problem, too.
I am using:
Win7 x64
Qt 5.1 (x32, x64)

Apparently QWebView has a problem with <TABLE> tag in Qt5.1.
My program works fine with Qt 4.8.4.
