One of our customers shares his tip on this problem. here it is:

• Configure the proxy options into ./html2image/greprefs/all.js.

Example below, this is the standard firefox proxy setting

pref(“network.proxy.autoconfig_url”,        “http://myProxy/myScript”);
pref(“network.proxy.type”,                  2);

There are mainly four x64 windows: XP x64,  Vista X64, Windows 2003 x64, Windows 2008 X64.  The first two are client platform while the last two are server version.

To convert html to image on windows x64 platform, there are two ways:

1. Convert html to image with the 32 bit component. To do this, html to image function must run under a 32 bit process. By default, htmlsnapshot will register itself as 32 bit component on Windows X64/

For example, you can run the simple vbscript demo with 32 bit mode like this:

c:WindowsSysWOW64cscript.exe DemoVBScriptsimple.vbs

2. Convert html to image with native 64bit mode. Since IE has been ported to x64, so htmlsnapshot can capture html to image with 64 bit IE.  To do this, first you need to manual register the 64 bit htmlsnapshot. In the installation folder, run below command:

regsvr32 x64htmlsnap2.dll

Now, you can run the simple vbscript demo with 64bit mode like this:

c:Windowssystem32cscript.exe DemoVBScriptsimple.vbs

Another thing to notice is that in order to capture html page with flash to image, you has to use the 32 bit mode. The reason is that the flash player doesn’t have 64 bit version yet.  Adobe is still working on this. Please read:

http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=6b3af6c9&sliceId=2

This serves as a good example on how to use html2image. Other 64 bit Linux distribution can be done similarly.

1. Install Ubuntu 64

2. Login into the server (you can use the text mode login here. This is suitable for headless server as well)

If you are in GUI mode, Ctrl+Alt+F2 will switch you to text mode.

3. Enter a folder, download html2image

wget http://www.guangmingsoft.net/htmlsnapshot/html2image.i386.tar.gz

4. Extract html2image

tar xvzf html2image.i386.tar.gz
cd html2image
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./

4. Install 32bit application support libraries.

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

5. Install Xvfb coming with the Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install xvfb

6. Run Xvfb

Xvfb :1 -screen 0 640x480x24 -nolisten tcp -audit 4 -auth X1.cfg & export DISPLAY=:1
Of course, you could try high resolution like 1024x768x24

7. Now you can run html2image, it should work
./html2image www.google.com a.jpg

Check if the a.jpg is created successfully.

Note the following things:

1. You copy/paste the below code into test.php and run on command line

   php.exe test.php

 2. Yon can see it uses GetErrorCode to handle errors to make your code more robust.

<?php

$url = “http://google.com/“;
$path = “.\”;
$img = “1.jpg”;
$timg = “1s.jpg”;
$limg = “1b.jpg”;
$iimg = “1i.jpg”;

$com = new COM(“HTMLSNAP2.HtmlSnap.1″);
$com->SetTimeout(150000);
$com->SetDelayTime(5000);
$com->EnableActiveX(true);
$com->EnableJava(true);
$com->EnableScript(true);
$com->EnableActiveX(true);
$com->SetJPEGQuality(100);
$com->SetSmoothingMode(2);
$com->SetInterpolationMode(6);
$com->SnapUrl($url, $path.$img );

$err = $com->GetErrorCode();
if ($err == 1)
{

$com->SetClipRect(0, 0, 1024, 768);
$com->SaveImage($path.$iimg);

$com->GetThumbnailImage($path.$img, $path.$timg, 160, 120, 0);
$com->GetThumbnailImage($path.$img, $path.$limg, 320, 240, 0);
$com->Clear();

print “Snapshot of “.$url.”. Click to enlarge<br>”;
print “<a href=”.$iimg.” mce_href=”.$iimg.”><img src=”.$timg.” mce_src=”.$timg.”><img src=”.$limg.” mce_src=”.$limg.”></a><br/>”;
}
else
{
    print “error happens”;
}
 
?>

Save the below code into a script snapurl.vbs (Or you can find this script in htmlsnapshotdemovbscript)

set args = WScript.Arguments
num = args.Count

if num <> 2 then
   WScript.Echo “Usage: [CScript | WScript] snapurl.Vbs Url ImageFile”
   WScript.Quit 1
end if

‘demo how to convert html to image
Dim snap

‘Create the Html Snapshot Object
Set snap = CreateObject(“HTMLSNAP2.HtmlSnap.1″)
snap.SetCode “Input your license code here to remove watermark”
snap.SnapUrl args.Item(0), args.Item(1)
WScript.echo “Snap return:” & CStr(snap.GetErrorCode)

‘Free object
Set snap = Nothing

 After that, you can run on command line like below:

cscript.exe snapUrl.vbs www.google.com g.jpg
cscript.exe snapUrl.vbs file://c:1.html g.jpg

It can be used to build interactive, vector based web pages.

To convert such web page into image, you can do it with our award winning htmlsnapshot product.

‘Declare object
Dim snap
Set snap = CreateObject(“HTMLSNAP2.HtmlSnap.1″)
snap.SetTimeOut CLng(200000)
snap.SnapUrl “http://www.google.com/“, “google.tiff”

‘Set CCITT3 encoding for TIFF
