Generating PDF Partially with Aspose.PDF

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hello Team,

We are seeing that some html files content is missing in the output PDF. It is not fully exported into output PDF. You can see some part of Reference section is missing in the output PDF.

We even tried with the latest versions (24.4.0/24.3.0) of Aspose.PDF.Drawing, but no luck.

We also tried with downgrade version (23.4.0), but no luck.

I have attached the input html and output pdf files here.
example.zip (1.2 MB)

Could you please check and advise to fix it?

Regards,
Prashant

In your code css file usage is absent
How do you apply it do PDF document?
I tried your variant, the result document seems to be correctly converted but lacks style application, seems that there could be something wrong with that

@ilyazhuykov In order to apply styles, you need to keep both html and style file the same folder as it linked like below in the input html file:

There’s no updates on this task
However I tried to run your code on Aspose Pdf 24.5 and it seems that issue was fixed
Current result looks like this:

@ilyazhuykov I just tried with upgrading the Aspose.PDF.Drawing to latest version (24.5.0), but no luck.

Do I understand correctly that css file changed?
For now it seems that previous one is not recognized by mentioned html input

@ilyazhuykov No CSS file is not changed.

For now I run into peculiar problem that style does not apply
During experimentation I found out that modification of original html with explicit mentioning of css helps and resulting file seems OK, but I’m not sure if it will suit you
I’ll try to contact development team, maybe they will explain why it works this way
Files that I used are here
css.zip (1.3 MB)
To clarify, did version 24.5 Drawing fix issue with previous document?
For now it seems to me that these two are a bit separate cases

@ilyazhuykov
Please place css file in the same folder where you put html file.
PFA and refer it.

Now style is applied but result still it differs from result you shared
Maybe it has something to do with environment and version of framework, could you share details about it, please?
Also, could you double check that version is correctly updated and is indeed Aspose Pdf 24.5 Drawing ?
I also note that html for Example_3005 is a bit different now
Code didn’t change, I suppose
