Help in inserting white space in custom field when generating a PDF

I am trying to add a place of signature at the bottom of my documents, one place for my company and another for the client.
I tried adding the entity “&emsp” to generate mutiple spaces between texts on the same line of a custom field title, but when I generate a PDF, the white space between them is gone. See the screen shot below:


Is there a way to force the PDF document to keep the white space between them? if not, is there a way to insert two custom themes on the same line separated by white space?

Read the Guide about repositioning custom fields.

can you give me the link? i searched for it on the guide but could not find it

You need to use a table for that.

hey Tut, thank you for your quick response and help.
If I can ask you another thing, which I could not on the forums.
In the custom field, I underline the text as seen below in the screenshot. The underlying is showed with the print option but when I generate a PDF the text will show normal without underlying.

Is there a way to stop the PDF generator from rendering out added style? It seems that the PDF generator ignored a lot of added styles, in both custom field or the theme itself.

Sorry, but I am not a programming instructor. And this is not a coding forum. If you don’t have the skills, hire a local programmer.

I am sorry If my question sounded wrong and I asked for coding instructions. Let me rephrase my question Please.
When I use the internal-PDF generator of the software, the generator ignores style attributes that I have added. The documents will be generated without certain styles. How can I force the PDF-generator to keep the styles that I have added? The generator appear to only include styles added in theme table, but every style outside the Table is ignored or overlooked.

Against my better judgment:

You have used a formatting tag for unarticulated text. You have not defined a style.

That is not the problem. The internal PDF generator simply doesn’t process the underscore <u> nor the italic <i> tag, even when inserted as style such as text-decoration: underline. @lubos, can the PDF generator’s behaviour be modified?

@Taha_El_Zein you can use the print button and print as PDF. And to answer your question in your first post: search the forum for Signature. :wink:

Hey Mark, thanks for your reply, you addressed my issue well.
I am trying to keep print as PDF a last resort since it does not repeat the table head on extra pages.

I am asking for this one as I have several related issues that can be fixed all together with this.

You simply cannot. The internal pdf generator only use a subset of HTML. So if you use unsupported tags you will see them on the screen thanks to your browser rendering engine but you will get a different output if you create directly pdf. Since I don’t think that @lubos will ever change the pdf renderer, the only solution is to print to PDF as already suggested.
