Why does TCPDF ignore my inline CSS?

by

TCPDF has a very limited CSS support. It doesn’t support all attributes.

Currently, only the following CSS attributes are supported:

  • font-family
  • font-size
  • font-weight
  • font-style
  • color
  • background-color
  • text-decoration
  • width
  • height
  • text-align

So try removing the other attributes, and tell if it works.

Also, this is an active forum for TCPDF related discussion.
