Html tables within html tables are not formatting properly when added to the PDF

chris.coleman · June 5, 2017, 3:07pm

The lst datafile with out the other html files.pdf is the PDF file we produce. We create a number of pdf files from HTML files then we combine all of those PDF files into a single PDF file.

The LST DATAFIELD.zip is a zip of one of the HTML pages we are adding to that PDF. This HTML has a lot of tables embedded in tables but is correct HTML.

The following code is what is being used to convert the html to a PDF…

HtmlLoadOptions htmloptions = new HtmlLoadOptions();
htmloptions.PageInfo.Margin.Bottom = 10;
htmloptions.PageInfo.Margin.Top = 20;
htmloptions.PageInfo.Margin.Left = 5;
htmloptions.PageInfo.Margin.Right = 5;
htmloptions.PageInfo.Height = PageSize.PageLetter.Height;
htmloptions.PageInfo.Width = PageSize.PageLetter.Width;
Document htmldoc = new Document(@“c:\temp\LST DATAFIELD.HTML”, htmloptions);


htmldoc.Save(@“c:\temp\test.pdf”);

as you can see in the PDF the html tables do not embed inside of each other properly.

Is there a solution to this issue.

It seems to not wrap data in column quick enough that it should wrap (and is wrappable in HTML file).
