Hi


I am trying to convert html file to PDF using Aspose.PDF, but the PDF does not look as expected.
I also tried using Aspose.Word - still the PDF file is not look good.

I am expecting that the PDF will look same as if I open the html file in Internet Expoler

HTML and CSS are attached, please save them at same folder

Hi Yaniv,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please use the new DOM approach for HTML to PDF conversion, as it will resolve the issue. If you use some external resources (css/fonts/images), you need to pass the file path to HtmlLoadOptions as the base path. Please check the sample code and output for your reference.

// Specify the base path/url for the html file which serves as the image database
String basePath = @"C:\Users\Home\Downloads\CCDA\";

HtmlLoadOptions htmloptions = new HtmlLoadOptions(basePath);

// Load HTML file
Document doc = new Document(@"C:\Users\Home\Downloads\CCDA\Good Health Health Summary.html", htmloptions);

// Save HTML file
doc.Save(basePath + "HTMLtoPDF_output.pdf");

Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.

Hi Yaniv,

Thanks for considering Aspose. You are getting an evaluation limitation error. Please note that the Aspose.Pdf evaluation version has two limitations: an evaluation watermark and a limit of viewing at most four elements of any collection. Please make a request for a temporary license to evaluate our product without any limitation. It will resolve the issue.

Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.
