HTML to PDF conversion style/formatting issue

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hi,
I 'm converting HTML string to pdf and adding paging, header and footer in Aspose.PDF C# code via HtmlFragment.

I’m facing the issue of formatting the text, which works correctly in html content, after the pdf conversion the alignment goes weird.

Below is the sample HTML


<p style="padding-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin-right: 10px;">Built in 1847 and rebuilt in 2020, the bridge consists of steel girders composite with a reinforced concrete deck superstructure supported by reinforced concrete abutments and piers. The structure has twenty-one spans that are a combination of simply and continuously supported, with a total length of approximately 2491 feet and a maximum span length of 257 feet.
The anticipated scope of bridge rehabilitation is as follows:
x Strengthen or repair steel members.
x Field paint steel repair areas and other areas with rust
x Bearing replacement/repair 
x Repair existing deck slab with Strip, Patch, Membrane, and Overlay (SPMO)
x Replace all joints on the bridge in kind.
</span>
	</p>

Issue is text-align justify and white-space wrap properties.
Need a help on this , please

Thank you for your response.

I have tried with latest version too.

Code:

var document = new Document();
var page = document.Pages.Add();
var htmlFragment = new HtmlFragment(pdfContent);
page.Paragraphs.Add(htmlFragment);
var documentStream = new MemoryStream();
document.Save(documentStream, SaveFormat.Pdf);

pdfContent – contains the html string

After this adding page number, header footer falls.

I have the shared code and the html where I have used.

I have been expecting the output to be like with justified alignment

But I’m getting the pdf generated as

It works good if I give text-align: left, but not for text-align:justify
Hope you can see the difference, please let me know in case of any additional details.

Thank you for the update.

So, what’s the next step on it? Do I need to wait and watch this space?

I have been using the licensed version of the product, which means I have paid for it, in case of any issues do I need to buy the support too, to solve the issue in the licensed product? Just trying to understand, please.

Thanks

Thanks for the update, I will wait for the response. Yes it’s a show stopper, but have to talk to customer about the paid support, since we picked this tool after a long approval, its a quiet long process.
