Convert HTML to PDF with document margins using Aspose.PDF Cloud API

Aspose.PDF Cloud Product Family

Hi there,

I’m creating a PDF from an HTML template and I need to set the PDF margins. How can I do this?

In my REST PUT request I’m sending as a content:

{“PageInfo”:{“Margin”:{“Bottom”:10,“Top”:20, “Left”: 5, “Right”: 5}}}

But it’s not working. I always get the PDF with the same (big) margins.

Please help.

Thank you!

@praydesai,

Thanks for your patience.

After further investigation, we have found that currently Aspose.Pdf for Cloud do not support the feature to set page margin when converting HTML files to PDF format. For the sake of correction, I have logged this requirement as PDFCLOUD-52 in our issue tracking system. We will further look into the details of this problem and will keep you updated on the status of correction. Please be patient and spare us little time. We are sorry for this inconvenience.

As a workaround, you may consider setting Left and Right margin for input HTML file

I tried:

body {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif !important;
font-size: 16px;
margin: 0 !important;
padding: 0 !important;
}

But the final result is the same.

Hello,

My customer requires an update on this issue, they are complaining about the amount of paper wasted due to the big margins.

Can you share a release date for this new feature?

Seems like this is still an issue, has anyone found a work around for setting margin on files when using Aspose PDF to convert HTML to PDF?
