Bugs and Limitations

HTMLBook is based on the Carbon HTML Rendering Library and has some limitations.

• Style sheets are not supported.
• If graphics or layouts are larger than the usuable page width, then the rendering will not be correctly.
• You cannot render correctly to a page which is larger than the screen size. The part beyond will not be drawn. This means that with a powerbook, you can render to A4 paper at 100%, but not to A4 paper at 80%.
• Due to the API, part of the textblocks are drawn over the limits of the page and then covered with white. This may be visible when Acrobat builds the page. Preview shows the pages fine.
• Acrobat may show the error message "The font 'ZVTHUO+Geneva' contains an invalid encoding. Some characters may not display."
• The files are larger than they have to be. This is because the Quartz API stores private data into the PDF file. If somebody has an idea how to remove it, please drop me a mail.
