'How to find exact length of pixel in mm
I am using an HTML, CSS, js
template, and converting it to pdf with the android app.
I had a problem detecting when will next page break so I can put an element on the next page and change its design. I am trying with calculating the distance from the top of the page to the bottom of that element, and then check if that element ends after the page ends.
<script>
const pageHeight = 275; //page height without margins in mm
const pixelSize = 0.2645833333; //pixel size in mm
const normalGraph = document.getElementById("normal-graph-block");
const breakGraph = document.getElementById("break-graph-block");
const pixelRatio = window.devicePixelRatio;
function myFunction() {
//Get distance from top of page to top of element plus element height
//multiplyed by pixel size to get distance in mm
const graphBottomPos =
(normalGraph.getBoundingClientRect().top + normalGraph.offsetHeight) * pixelSize;
if ( graphBottomPos > pageHeight ) {
normalGraph.style.display = "none";
breakGraph.style.display = "block";
}
}
window.onload = myFunction;
</script>
It's not working well and I get different values on different phones. I think I need to use devicePixelRatio to compensate for that but I could make it work, even with it.
Please don't tell me to use page-break-before, after..
, because I need to hide that element after a page break and show a similar one with a different style.
It would be much better if I could detect that page break somehow, but since it is not <br>
element, i think that is not possibile.
