[SalesForce] Any solution found for word-wrap in VF PDF

Searched nearly one day but could'nt find the solution for this. There are lot of questions regarding word-wrap is not working on pdf but none of them have answers.

am just fetching the contacts email like below

<td>{!Contact.Email__c}</td>

Problem : Whenever the contact email is large/big one then it should break the line.

Used all those css properites like word-wrap, overflow, break-word, white-space…. but no use of these.

Somewhere I found that CSS3 properties are not supported by PDF generating engine.

Any solution for this?

Thanks in Advance!

In case of plain text,you can use \r\n.You can try using a VisualForce component

Component(Develop->Visualforce components):Add the following

 <apex:component controller="break" access="global" >

<apex:outputText value="{!break}" />

Controller:In classes

public class break {

public String break {

    get { return '\r\n'; }

    set;

}

And use the component's id in visualforce page:

<apex:repeat value="{!Contact.Email__c}" var="c">

    <apex:outputText value="{!c.ID}" />

    <c:break />

I have seen this before. I haven't seen where it is documented, though.

When you pass the ID to the PDF controller directly after the insert from the same controller method the record is not available. You can output the ID in the PDF and see that it is clearly getting passed through. You can select the record back in the method where you did the insert, but for some reason the record is not available in the PDF controller. I suspect there is something going on behind the scenes with how the transactions and/or transaction contexts are handled.

You can work around it by setting the parameter and then forwarding to a blank page with an action that fires and gets the PDF for you. So, after the insert you forward to Page.IntermeditateRedirect and then in that page have something like:

<apex:page action="{!getPdf}" controller="YourPdfController/>

Or, if you want to use the same controller then have an action but set different modes and use the action as a controlling method. A co-worker of mine came up with an approach like that, implemented roughly as follows:

<apex:page action="{!handleMode}" controller="YourController"/>

Then in the controller:

public String mode { get; set; }
public YourController() {
     mode = System.currentPageReference().getParameters().get('mode');
 }
 public PageReference handleMode() {
   if (Mode  == 'renderPdf') {
       return rednerPdf();
   } else if (mode == 'insertRecord') {
       return insertRecord();
   }
 }
 public PageReference insertRecord() {
    // do the insert of the rec...then redirect to the same page
    PageReference pageRef = new PageReference('url');
    pageRef.getParameters().put('id', rec.Id);
    pageRef.getParameters().put('mode', 'renderPdf');
    pageRef.setRedirect(true);

   // after the redirect the handleMode will get called and the rednerPdf will get executed.
 }
 public PageReference renderPdf() {
    // will be able to select a record and see it based on the id parameter
 }

[SalesForce] Wrap the without space Text in Visualforce PDF

CSS3 supports a few styles for wrapping text: text-overflow, overflow-wrap and the now-deprecated word-wrap.

If the VF rendering from HTML into PDF supports these CSS properties, this may work for you.
