Error converting to PDF on BindHTML

Aspose.PDF Product Family

I am getting the following error when converting html to pdf…



Attempt by method ‘System.Xml.Xsl.XsltOld.XsltCompileContext+FuncExtension.Invoke(System.Xml.Xsl.XsltContext, System.Object[], System.Xml.XPath.XPathNavigator)’ to access method ‘Aspose.Pdf.HTML.ᛜ.DeEntitize(System.String)’ failed.



I tried just a simple HTML to rule out HTML problems…















Here’s my code…



Dim template As String = getFileAsString(PdfPartsPath & “ReleaseAuth.htm”)

Dim sb As New StringBuilder(template)

sb.Replace("[Date]", Now.ToShortDateString())

Dim bt As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(sb.ToString())

Dim ms As System.IO.MemoryStream = New System.IO.MemoryStream(bt)

pdf1.BindHTML(ms)



The error happens on the BindHTML.





Any ideas?

Hi,

I can’t post my html here, I tried in the original post and it doesn’t show the tags. Any html fails. I tried the most basic - start and end html tags with start and end body tags inside and that fails. I already tried to eliminate bad html as the issue.

Thanks,
John

Hi,


In order for us to test and investigate the issue in details, we would be requiring the source HTML. Furthermore, in case you are facing problem with some tags, you may indicate the HTML2PDF rendering engine to skip the problematic HTML tags and render them as simple text.
