Hi everyone, your html content missing some tags, due to mismatch of tags / tags were not ended properly. check the html content once.

Thanks,

I am trying to use this to convert html to pdf. wheneever i try it throws a n error message saying 'CurrentChapter is not defined"..any idea..??

Mad props for this contribution. Simple way of making simple PDF files from HTML. Thanks a lot.

iTextSharp v5 is only free for non-commercial activities, and it's support for HTML is partial.

Have a look at ABCpdf.NET if you need full HTML and CSS, live links and forms, etc. The standard edition can be used for commercial applications free of charge - look out for the special offer section.

I'm trying to include a html table with this. The table appears fine, but it comes with a wide margin on either side of the page, this is making the table too cramped. How can I make the table spread through the width of the pdf page? Please help!

Hi, this was a very helpful post! However, I already have a version of itextsharp.dll (4.0.2.0), and the one available with this component is version 1.0.4.0. I need to use the 4.0 version in my application, and I need to find a way to get this component to refer the 4.0 dll and not look for the 1.0.4 version. How do I do this? Any help would be welcome.

I get this error now - Could not load file or assembly 'itextsharp, Version=1.0.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

Thanks

I am to a great extent impressed with the article I have just read interesting very good

Hi...I am passing html file which contains pictures too..Its giving an error that Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1..what does this mean?

How I can make a "Page Break"?
Thank you, Rajko

I am using following code:
StringBuilder s = new StringBuilder();
//test aspx = new test();
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(s);
HtmlTextWriter writer = new Html32TextWriter(sw);
base.Render(writer);

System.IO.Stream stream = new System.IO.FileStream(@"C:\new_pdf_name6.pdf", FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
Pdfizer.HtmlToPdfConverter htmlToPdf = new Pdfizer.HtmlToPdfConverter();
// open stream to write Pdf to to
htmlToPdf.Open(stream);
// write the HTML to the component
htmlToPdf.Run(s.ToString());
// close the write operation and complete the PDF file
htmlToPdf.Close();

This is giving following error on this statement:
htmlToPdf.Run(s.ToString());

Error is: The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable.

Please help

thank you for a quite nice html2pdf machine...
the thing is that i want to add new font styles with CP1250 encoding and it sounds impossible with this old itextsharp.dll library, besides this one is not compatibile with the newest version.
the original code doesn't support [table],[br],[p] and so on...
Michal

I think the reason your image support worked is because your image paths look to be local paths.  What most have tried and failed with is using images that are at URL paths on the web.  The component seems to have no functionality to download the images and put them in the PDF.  But it looks like if the images are a local path, it works.  I think that might reconcile the difference.

I'm not sure why others had a problem with it, however, I was able to use this with images without any problem. Below is the basic HTML that I generated (my images were 800X600).

<html>
<body>
<table height='800' width='600'>
<tr><td><img src='filepath1' /></td></tr>
<tr><td><img src='filepath2' /></td></tr>
<tr><td><img src='filepath3' /></td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

This is a great little free method to get simple PDFs created. I highly recommend it!

Damn and blast that really sucks..... Its unfortunate that there isn't a open source Html to Pdf converter that can compete with the commercial solutions with out the ridiculous licensing costs. Thanks for the quick reply none the less.

I hadn't tried images but it looks like support is not good. It seems to just ignore your image URL's. Kind of sucks. When I put this together, I only had need for text and formatting. Looks like that is as far as this component goes.

Great article, helped a ton, just one question, what is the support for images like? I have a document rendered in valid XHTML but by adding images the pdf only contains a single table cell, it doesn't contain any of the HTML I had fed to it! Any ideas?
