Aspose.Pdf.Document throws InvalidCastException from html stream

[serdarb]

Hi,

I am getting InvalidCastException while creating pdf doc from html of long string. for example a wikipedia article link.

(if I do this with short html string it works. you can see the working sample in commented line)

What may be the cause?

            const string url = "https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C3%BCrk%C3%A7e";
            const string filePath = "test_turkish.pdf";

            var license = new License();
            license.SetLicense(@"C:\License\Aspose.Total.lic");
            
            var html = string.Empty;
            //html = @"

test heading
test paragraph... test turkish chars üğşiçöıIÜĞİŞÇÖ
";

            var request = WebRequest.Create(url);
            var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
            var responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
            if (responseStream != null)
            {
                var reader = new StreamReader(responseStream);
                html = reader.ReadToEnd();
                reader.Close();
                responseStream.Close();
                response.Close();
            }

            var stream = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(html));
            var options = new HtmlLoadOptions();
            
            var pdfDocument = new Document(stream, options);
            pdfDocument.Save(filePath);

Hi Serdar,

In addition to above reply, please use following code snippet for web page to PDF conversion, as suggested in documentation link. It will help you to accomplish the task.

// Create a request for the URL.<o:p></o:p>

WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C3%BCrk%C3%A7e");

// If required by the server, set the credentials.

request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

// time out in miliseconds before the request times out

//request.Timeout = 100;

// Get the response.

HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

// Get the stream containing content returned by the server.

Stream dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();

// Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.

StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);

// Read the content.

string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();

reader.Close();

dataStream.Close();

response.Close();

MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(responseFromServer));

HtmlLoadOptions options = new HtmlLoadOptions("https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C3%BCrk%C3%A7e");

// Load HTML file

Document pdfDocument = new Document(stream, options);

options.PageInfo.IsLandscape = true;

// Save output as PDF format

pdfDocument.Save(myDir + "HTMLtoPDF_DOM.pdf");

Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.

Best Regards,
