    Hi @ciaranevans-xydus
    There are page margins, that’s why there’s an empty space between your content and the edges of the page
    If you don’t want to use them, you can remove them with @page { margin: 0 } in your CSS

    Ah! Nice one @liZe - time to rejig it all now :sweat_smile:

    Now I've set margin to 0, I've lost my page numbers :P

    I've got:

    @page {
        margin: 0;
        size: A4;
        @bottom-right-corner {
            content: counter(page);
            color: #2ABADC;
        }
    }

    Of course, if you set a margin of 0, you lose your page margins and thus can’t put the page number in one of them :/

    @ciaranevans-xydus
    Ah.
    That could be fun

    If you want page numbers, then you want page margins 😀️

    @ciaranevans-xydus
    Then I lose the HTML 0,0 == PDF 0,0 :laughing:

    @liZe
    You can apply different margin sizes on the different sides if you want
    You can only keep the bottom margin for example, if it’s easier for you

    @ciaranevans-xydus
    Yeah. That's a good shout. Sorry, I realise this isn't a CSS help thread :P Can you tell I am a backend dev? lol
    Guillaume Ayoub
    @liZe
    No problem 😁️
    (If you remove the right margin, you’ll have to use @bottom-right instead of @bottom-right-corner)

    Btw, I don’t if you’ve seen it, we launched a survey about WeasyPrint just here https://thym.courtbouillon.org/1 :)
    Ciaran Evans
    @ciaranevans-xydus
    Nice, shall fill it out now!
    Weasyprint was one of the few actual open source licensed libraries we could find
    And I was very glad to go back to python to use it rather than the java day job :')

    Me again with another question :sweat_smile:

    We have table rows with inner tables :grimacing: and on the html preview, I get:

    the above*
    On the PDF, it doesn't seem to respect the spacing
    image.png
    I would expect the columns in the latter image to both take 50% of the right hand column of the main table

    @ciaranevans-xydus
    Morning folks :D Me again - does weasyprint respect max-height/max-width of images?
    In HTML previews, these tags work, but it seems like the PDF images are always bigger
    image.png
    HTML Preview ^
    image.png
    PDF ^
    With:
    img { max-width: 100%; max-height: 250px; width: auto; height: auto;}
    Guillaume Ayoub
    @liZe
    I think it should work, let me try
    Oh, I think I know what’s happening
    Is the image in a table?
    Ciaran Evans
    @ciaranevans-xydus
    It is
    Guillaume Ayoub
    @liZe
    Then the width of the columns can be different depending on the browser, as it’s not defined by the specification. So, max-width: 100% can give different results, as it depends on the column’s width.
    You can use a smaller max-height if you think that the second photo is too tall.
    Ciaran Evans
    @ciaranevans-xydus
    Well that second image is definitely stretched out

    a customer of mine is interested in sending out PDFs with some basic forms (text box, checkboxes) from my application. we don't use weasyprint in that part of the application for HTML->PDF conversion yet, but there are some long term plans in that direction, pending support, of course. so the question is: would this support materialize with throwing some money at the problem and what kind of money would that be? :)
    Lucie Anglade
    @grewn0uille
    Hi @jsonn,
    Currently there is nothing planned to have form support in WeasyPrint, but throwing some money at it would make that happens :) If you’re interesting in sponsoring this feature, can you give us a email adress so we can discuss about it?

    That looks fun, thanks for sharing!
