PDF Styling Issues for Tickets - Need Help was created by Josh Gilson
Howdy, I'm trying to set a custom ticket look and everything I do doesn't really work. Emails all look fine, when I test the html with the inline styling it works, but once I put the code into the PDF ticket area, it doesn't load correctly.
Here's an example of code I tried that works perfect outside EB but when added it doesn't work: community.suitecrm.com/t/use-inline-styl...-pdf-templates/42481
What am I doing wrong? Is there a certain type of layout, template I should use?
I was trying to make something like this too (without success in EB): htmlpdfapi.com/blog/event_ticket_templates

Hello
Unfortunately, working with PDF is quite difficult. The library which we are using in the extension is TCPDF. It does not have good documentation and the support for HTML or css is quite limitted
So you will have to try to build the layout yourself using basic HTML tag like table, tr, td... as in the sample ticket layout. Then try to download to see if it meets your need
We plan to switch to a better library in the next release with much better documentation and better HTML / CSS support mpdf.github.io/
However, it will take sometime for us (6 to 8 weeks) to have this new version completed
So for the time being, you would have to try to build the layout yourself (keep trying) until it meets your need (without good documentation, sorry)

Thank you, a new and better option would be greatly welcomed. My project isn't going live for about 8 weeks, so it might work out. But I'll keep an eye out for this.
