HTML does not support several objects types and attributes, which are handled by VPE.
Objects unsupported by HTML are: Lines, Polylines, Polygons, Ellipses, Pies, Rounded Rectangles, Charts, Barcodes, FormFields
Attributes unsupported by HTML are: Gradients, Shadows, Hatched Fill Styles, Rotated Text
On Windows platforms VPE will export the unsupported objects as PNG images. It will also export rotated text as PNG images. If there are multiple overlapping objects, which are exported as bitmaps, the result will be that only the topmost object will be visible, the others are blanked out. This can be seen in the “Capabilities + Precision Demo” when looking at the graph on page 8 or in the “Report Demo” when looking at the pies on page 2 (this is NOT a chart object, but multiple, manually drawn pies). Objects exported as bitmaps to HTML do not have a transparent background.
Gradients, Shadows and Hatched Fill Styles are not applied to objects (except they are exported as bitmaps).
On non-Windows platforms the unsupported objects will not be exported, they are skipped.
Some browsers, for example Firefox, do not display symbol fonts correctly.
Different browsers use different line spacings as well as word spacings to display text.
