Html to Pdf - need to preserve whitespace and word-wrap appropriately

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Trying to have a section in my HTML that preserves existing whitespace (particularly carriage returns) but also maintains appropriate width via normal word-wrap. Found that CSS class below seems to work fine in both Chrome and IE10, but when rendered through Aspose, the white-space setting gets ignored, so words and paragraphs are collapsed. Any workaround that doesn’t involve changing the content of the tag? Full sample HTML attached.


.pre {
word-break: break-all; /* webkit */
word-wrap: normal;
white-space: pre-wrap;
}

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for contacting support.

I have tested the scenario using the latest release of Aspose.Pdf for .NET 10.2.0 and I am unable to notice any issue. For your reference, I have also attached the resultant file generated over my end.

[C#]

// load HTML and render output as PDF
Aspose.Pdf.Document doc = new Aspose.Pdf.Document("c:/pdftest/AsposeTest8-whitespace.html", new HtmlLoadOptions());
// save resultant document
doc.Save("c:/pdftest/AsposeTest8-whitespace.pdf");

Look a little harder at the Html. The document renders, true, but note that none of the extra whitespace in the second section (spaces and newlines) are present in the PDF. I’ve attached another HTML with a more obvious paragraph. Change the extension to HTML and open in a browser to see the difference with the PDF.

Hello,



I’ve also had this issue and have been waiting for the fix. We’ve downloaded the latest updates and see some things have been fixed but the word-wrap issue has not. I have a class:

.paragraphWrap{

white-space: pre-wrap !important;

}

that I am applying to a label…when the html is generated in a browser, the white space is visible. When I generate the HTML in PDF, the whitespace is not preserved. Please advice.



Thank you.

We just received the latest version of Aspose and see that the issue has no bee resolved. Would you please provide update on the wrapping issue. I haven’t been able to find any information on the new ticket you opened.
