Phantomjs: Configurable DPI support for PDF rendering

[martonw]

it should be possible to set the dpi of the page before calling page.render("example.pdf").

[martonw]

The following test script shows the usage and tests the feature:

console.log('Loading a web page');
var page = require('webpage').create();
var url = 'http://phantomjs.org/';
page.open(url, function (status) {
  //Page is loaded!
  page.dpi=300; // this is where you actually set the DPI
  page.render("test.pdf");
  phantom.exit();

attached a screenshot how the output looks like.

This would indeed be a useful feature, but the development team is swamped at the moment and is unlikely to get to it anytime soon. If you want to work up a patch, though, we'd take it.

Hi @zackw it is done already, along with a pull request, see this commit on this fork I made: https://github.com/martonw/phantomjs/commit/4d11bef6c082a4f8a360953257c54b5090a3e226.

Hasn't this been fixed with #14085?

Landed in master some time ago.

page.dpi = 300; works like a charm 👍

[joegoldbeck]

Is there a way to make this work using page.setContent instead of page.open? My use case is rendering a pdf from known html, and I would like higher dpi than the default 72

[Ciantic]

This doesn't seem to work with 2.1.1, it's always small if I use page.dpi = 100; or page.dpi = 600; or page.dpi = 6000; was it moved somewhere?

[chandon]

I got 2.1.1 too (from binary release/linux 64) and it's not working

[Ciantic]

It's not on the 2.1.1, it was added March 2016, see this commit:
https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/commit/5232c9dff98115600d1b1491e538e01c0de2d650

The 2.1.1 is ancient, it's from Jan 2016.

We should push for a release instead. This is much needed feature.

[chandon]

@ciantic I agree, we need a 2.1.2... waiting for an hypothetic 2.5 is not a solution

I'm having this issue with Windows 10 auto-scaling. 2 machines will render two completely different PDF in terms of scaling. If the fix is already done and it's pending release, when should we expect it to drop?

[MaximRouiller]

Anyone knows where to get a build of this?

[fergardi]

I need this as well.
