Introduction
This section outlines possible reasons why some text documents rendered differently than expected.
The text file shows only a single line of text when rendered by PrizmDoc
For text files which only show a single line of text, the text file may have Mac-style line endings - CR (or '\r') only without line feed character LF (or '\n'). To verify, open text file in Notepad++ and select View, Show Symbol, Show All characters.
The text file has an unexpected page size when rendered by PrizmDoc
Text file page size is a system wide setting which depends on operating system configuration.
Windows
The page size depends on the Microsoft Windows regional setting format value; for instance the English (US) value will produce Letter
page size, while the French (France) value will produce A4
page size.
Linux
The page size depends on the /etc/papersize
Linux configuration value, which can be changed by the paperconfig
utility. A list of available paper sizes can be found in the papersize
Linux man page.
Example of changing the page size to Letter
on RedHat and CentOS platforms
sudo yum install libpaper
sudo paperconfig -p letter
Example of changing the page size to Letter
on Ubuntu platform
sudo apt install libpaper-utils
sudo paperconfig -p letter
Docker
The PrizmDoc Server Docker image has A4
default page size. Use the above Ubuntu platform example to change the page size. For more information about extending the PrizmDoc Server Docker container, see Using Docker
