Hi

I have a requirement where i have to Insert bullet in front of text...

Please consider the below sample:

• Topic Name

I am getting the text as follows from the oracle '<ul><li>' || Topic Name || '</li></ul>'

When it is actually printed in the PDF lot of gap appears between the bullet and Topic Name.

Can any one please help me in solving this problem.

Hello Aneesh,

Thanks for considering Aspose.

First of all I really apologize for replying you so late. In fact we have been trying to figure out a solution for your requirement. I've tested the scenario and have noticed that the distance between the List consents and the bullet sign is quite much. And I am sorry to inform you that we might be able to resolve this problem in short time.

As a workaround, I would suggest you to use Headings instead of HTML list. I know you are getting the contents from Oracle database, but you can parse the contents and eliminate the <ul> <li> tags programmatically, and create heading based over rest of the contents. Please take a look over the following code snippet, in which I've created a Heading object which generates output identical to your requirement. I know its bit difficult to follow the above specified approach but I am afraid at the moment I might not be able to suggest you something better than this one.

[C#]

//Instantiate the Pdf object by calling its empty constructor
Pdf pdf1 = new Pdf();
//Create the section in the Pdf object
Aspose.Pdf.Section sec1 = pdf1.Sections.Add();

// Create an object of heading
Heading heading1 = new Heading(pdf1, sec1, 1);
// create a segment to be added to heading
Segment segment1 = new Segment(heading1);
// Add the segement1 to segements collection of Heading
heading1.Segments.Add(segment1);
// Specify the value for Heading contents.
segment1.Content = " Topic Name ";
// Enable the value to display the HTML contents (if the contents from database contain other HTML formatting objects)
heading1.IsHtmlTagSupported = true;
// Set the user label for Heading
heading1.UserLabel = "Bullet1";
// Set the Label font size of heading
heading1.LabelFontSize = 6;
// Set the value of distance between Heading label & Contents
heading1.LabelWidth = 8;
// Add the Heading to Paragraphs collection of Section
sec1.Paragraphs.Add(heading1);

// Save the Pdf file
pdf1.Save("d:/pdftest/headings123.pdf");
