Hi ,

I am using .NET 1.1 with aspose 2.1.13. I want to convert my current aspx page to pdf document.But only text and hyperlinks are visible in the created pdf and there is no checkbox, textbox or any dropdown control.Could you please tell me how can I get these controls into my pdf document.

I am used following code:

Dim pdf As New Aspose.Pdf.Pdf

Dim surl As String = Request.Url.ToString()

pdf.BindHTMLFromUrl(surl, "GET")

pdf.Save("aspose.pdf", Aspose.Pdf.SaveType.OpenInBrowser, HttpContext.Current.Response)

and also:

Dim webClient As System.Net.WebClient = New System.Net.WebClient

Dim myDataBuffer As Byte() = webClient.DownloadData(surl)

Dim postStream As MemoryStream = New MemoryStream(myDataBuffer)

Dim download As String = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(myDataBuffer)

pdf.BindHTML(postStream)

pdf.Save("c:\\ICMS.pdf")

Nothing workedout.

Thanks and Regards,

Vicky

Hi,

I am sorry to tell that these controls are not supported yet. Although table and list are rendered in the Pdf. You can check the supported HTML tags at:

Sorry for inconvenience.

Thanks.

As per the requirement of our application (which enables the external users to submit the data entry forms online), it is required to capture the image of the submitted form. This functionality of capturing image is required to serve certain legal formalities of our customer. We have been able to successfully convert the submitted form in .MHT (embedded html) format using rendering option of windows .NET but the problem in the said format is that it supported only by IDM viewer and not other viewers.

PDF is the only viable option for this feature of capturing image since PDF format is supported on all browsers and viewers. We are already using Aspose ver 2.3 as a reporting tool in our application for producing the report results into different formats including PDF. But, while trying to convert the captured .MHT image into PDF format, images in the form are not getting converted including radio buttons, textboxes, dropdowns and checkboxes.

We have tried with all the solutions as suggested by you including usage of Aspose ver 3.6.5 but still we are facing the same problem. You are requested to please suggest some workable solution for the reported problem. Please consider this as urgent and reply back at the earliest.

Hi,

I am sorry to say that it is not supported and we can't support it in short time. I have no other workaround for it. Sorry for inconvenience.

Thanks.
