Convert HTML to PDF using Aspose.PDF REST API with page margins

Aspose.PDF Cloud Product Family
1

I’m using the Aspose Cloud to convert HTML to PDF using the REST API. I’ve got everything working fine except that I cannot figure out how to set the Page Margins on the PDF. The default Page Margins are huge and it ruins my documents - I don’t want any margins on the PDF unless I specify them.


Does anyone know how to set the PDF margins before/during HTML to PDF conversion?

Hi Imran,


Thanks for the response. I’m disappointed that it isn’t a feature right now, but glad to hear it’s been logged as a request.

I’ve already done an implementation using the .NET library so I can fall back to that, but the pricing for that is too high to use the .NET library in production - hence the interest in Aspose Cloud.

Can I check the status of those 2 tickets on this website somewhere or do I just wait for an email?

Regards,
Peter
