Converting an HTML document with images to PDF

Attachment: Present (inaccessible)

Hi Aspose support team,

I have Aspose.Words and I'm trying to convert an HTML document that includes image URLs to PDF.

I'm currently trying to embed the image (base64) on the HTML document and then using the resulting binary with method Aspose.Words.Doc2PDF. Still the image isn't rendered in the PDF.

What is the recommended procedure for this?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Converting an HTML document with images to PDF

I've added an example in attach of the post.

The picture we're trying to have converted is the one put inline (base 64) although we'll also be able to have them separately (URL) added, if that's part of the procedure you'll recommend.

Re: Converting an HTML document with images to PDF

I'm also having trouble passing some styles to the PDF, for example font type.

For an HTML like:

I still get Times New Roman (or similar) on the PDF.

Thanks in advance for the help on these 2 issues.

Re: Converting an HTML document with images to PDF

Hello

Thank you for additional information. Regarding base64 data in your HTML, currently Aspose.Words does not support base64 data upon HTML import. We will consider an ability to support this and provide you more information. As a workaround please try using direct url to image.

Also I managed to reproduce the problem with font. Your request has been linked to the appropriate issue. You will be notified as soon as it is fixed.

Best regards.

Re: Converting an HTML document with images to PDF

Hi,

using a URL the image is not included in the HTML binary that is sent to Doc2PDF. That's why we tried embedding it in the HTML.

Could you, perhaps, provide an example of the procedure (HTML and C# code) you're recommending?

Re: Converting an HTML document with images to PDF

Hello

Thanks for your inquiry. Actually, images usually are not included into HTML document. When you open HTML, like the following, using Aspose.Words, it will get image from URL and embed it into a final document.

<html>

<body>

</body>

</html>

Re: Converting an HTML document with images to PDF

Thanks Andrey,

I was referring about an example on to have such HTML being converted into a PDF. Can this be done with Aspose.Words? If so, could you provide an example? If not, how could this be done (also with an example, if possible)?

Re: Converting an HTML document with images to PDF

Hello

Thanks for your request. Please see the following code:

// Open HTML

Document doc = new Document(@"in.html");

// Save output document

doc.Save(@"out.pdf");

or you can try using this code to insert HTML and save as PDF

// Create an empty Document

Document doc = new Document();

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.InsertHtml(

@"<html>

<body>

</body>

</html>");

// Save output document

doc.Save(@"out.pdf");

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Re: Converting an HTML document with images to PDF

Hi Andrey,

we've replaced our use of Aspose.Words.Doc2PDF method by the code you've recommended and it worked pretty well.

Thanks!

Re: Converting an HTML document with images to PDF

Actually, everything is working fine with the images, but now we are having problems with the inline fonts.

Basically the inline fonts are not showing up on the document.

thank you,

Vasco
