HTML (SVG tag) to PDF, not rendering as expected

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Attached is a simple program with a HTML file in resources folder where a style tag is specified with all the CSS used for the html. The html itself is a simple file with just a chart created using svg tag. When you run the program you will see the generated PDF does not look like the HTML opened in the browser. The fonts, background etc are not applied.

Please investigate and let me know what’s missing in the code. I wasn’t able to find an answer for the same.

Thanks

Thanks for creating the ticket. How would I know the detailed status of the ticket? When is the expected resolution date?

I have a couple of follow up questions:

  1. It also looks like the fonts and similar styling is not applied for the chart, do you have a separate ticket to address that issue?
  2. Also, can we use a css file to set styles for the tag or are we supposed to use inline?

The CSS files are supported and you can pass a base path parameter in the HtmlLoadOptions class constructor. Please try the following code:

C#

// Specify the The base path/url for the html file which serves as images database
String basePath = "C:/temp/";
HtmlLoadOptions htmloptions = new HtmlLoadOptions(basePath);
// Load HTML file
Document doc = new Document("input.html", htmloptions);
// Save HTML file
doc.Save("output.pdf");
