I am having a problems with a block of code and I can’t figure out how to resolve it.
What I wanted was the
to have a background image and then I could place text within the div. I don’t think Aspose PDF has this functionality (which would be useful).
I therefore tried a different method (see below):
HTML:
Outline
CSS:
div.imagebk
{
position: relative;
width: 1115px;
height: 788px;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
text-align:left;
}
p.titleheading
{
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
left: 60px;
width: 1115px;
font-family: Calibri;
font-size: 90pt;
color: #ffffff;
}
The above sort of works but the PDF generator is not registering the CSS ‘top’ tag. The CSS ‘left’ tag seems to be working fine, but I have tried and tried and tried again but I can’t get it working.
I have attached a picture to illustrate my point. This is what is generated on the output. As you can see it has moved left but not moved down.
It is really annoying and I need some urgent help in fixing it.
Thanks for your inquiry. Please use new DOM approach for HTML to PDF conversion. I have tried your HTML with a sample image and it is honoring top tag. Hopefully it will help you to accomplish the task.
// Specify the The base path/url for
the html file which serves as images database<o:p></o:p>
Okay I will try and see if I can use the DOM approach.
Just a couple of questions… Is there no way of just passing an HTML string to a new document and saving it that way? Furthermore I need to force new pages, how do you force new pages using the DOM approach?
I need to have headers and footers AND a way of saying this is page 1 of 2 etc etc. All of the above currently allows me to do this using the old way of creating PDFs. If the DOM approach cannot do this, I can’t use it and therefore need a solution to my original query.
Will also the background img work for DIVs in DOM or is that not developed yet?
Just for your information I currently at the moment save the PDF in a memory stream (not using DOM) and then load it in as a document to compress the PDF file.
I have tried to convert my code into DOM and it is turning out to be a nightmare. Please help me and point me in the right direction. See my questions above this message too.
I keep getting this error: 'The rectangle size can not be larger page size’
The code that I using is below. It loops around a page list that I setup which has HTML pages as strings (item.HtmlCode) and other page parameters for each page. Lots of pages have images the size of the pages, so I made the page size bigger but still it keeps bringing this error. I really don’t know if I am doing this right because I am having major trouble finding things that I need in the documentation.
’ Instantiate Document object Dim doc As Document = New Document()
For Each item As PageList In HTMLPageList
’ Add a page to pages collection of PDF file Dim page As Page = doc.Pages.Add()
If item.Orientation = PageOrientation.Portrait Then 'page.SetPageSize(795, 1124) page.PageInfo.Width = 800 page.PageInfo.Height = 1200 page.SetPageSize(800, 1200)
ElseIf item.Orientation = PageOrientation.Landscape Then page.PageInfo.IsLandscape = True page.PageInfo.Width = 1200 page.PageInfo.Height = 800 page.SetPageSize(1200, 800) 'page.SetPageSize(1124, 795) End If ’ Instantiate HtmlFragment with HTML contnets Dim titel As HtmlFragment = New HtmlFragment(item.HtmlCode)
’ Add HTML Fragment to paragraphs collection of page page.Paragraphs.Add(titel)
Next ’ Save PDF file
doc.Save(saveFilePath)
Furthermore why can’t I use preset sizes like A4 or A3 like the old generator?

Please find attached code snippet to create PDF document from scratch using DOM with Header/Footer. Contents will automatically flow to new page. However if you want to force start from new page. You can create another Page object for the purpose.
