Dear Team,

We have a requirement to create PDF using HTML content. HTML content can contain special characters, tab spacing in content. When we try to generate PDF using this content we are missing the TAB spacings. We tried this with v6.1, v7.6, v9.0. Could you please provide a solution fot this?

Attached screenshot of PDF created using v9.0 highlighted with red boxes in places where tab spacing is expected.

A sample content is given below.

1. This is an
example of a decision, including special characters like “ô” and
“í” and “ã” and other features (like parentheses) and a
noun’s possessive forms. –

a. Some parts of
the text will need to be
indented.

i). and some,
even further;

2. All paragraphs
will also need a tab character between the number and
text, which transfers to the IR intact, and paragraph breaks between
each.


Thanks & Regards,

Anish C

Hi Anish,


Thanks for your inquiry. I am afraid when you open the source HTML in some browser the spaces are adjusted automatically and Aspose.Pdf is doing same. Please check attached image.

Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.

Thanks Team for your reply, but could you please provide us a solution on how we can include tabs in PDF created from HTML. Will encoding HTML and passing it to Aspose PDF help in setting tabs as expected? Would be grateful if you could share a code snippet which solves this problem.
