I want to convert complete html file into pdf file by using asp.net 4.0. I used iTextSharp module to convert.
Here with you the source I used.
string lstrhtml = "<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" >" +
"<head><title>Custom Mail</title><meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\"/>" +
"<style type=\"text/css\">DIV.main { width: 775px; }" +
"BODY { font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff }" +
"td { font-size: 11px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif }" +
"P { font-size: 11px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif }" +
"A:link { font-size: 11px; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif }" +
"A:visited { font-size: 11px; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif }" +
"</style>" +
"</head>" +
"<body><h1>detail goes here</h1></body>" +
"</html>";
string filePath = lstrpdfpath + pstrPNR + ".pdf";
FileStream pdfStream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create);
TextReader reader = new StringReader(lstrhtml);
// step 1: creation of a document-object
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 30, 30, 30, 30);
// step 2:
// we create a writer that listens to the document
// and directs a XML-stream to a file
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, pdfStream);
// step 3: we create a worker parse the document
HTMLWorker worker = new HTMLWorker(document);
// step 4: we open document and start the worker on the document
document.Open();
worker.StartDocument();
// step 5: parse the html into the document
worker.Parse(reader);
// step 6: close the document and the worker
worker.EndDocument();
worker.Close();
document.Close();
pdfStream.Close();
pdfStream.Dispose();
Problems:-
- All the styles are printed in the pdf file
- If I use full complete html file, then I will receive exceptional error(Object Reference not set to an instance of an object) after the worker.Parse(reader); step.
It would be great if you can let me know how to sort out above issues.
Thanks in advance
