Input stream for html data must be FileStream

[vicage]

As per below link, I followed to call local hosted Website for converting content to PDF, but it failed. I am using Visual studio 2012, .NET 4.5 and added aspose through NuGet. I believe, the version is the latest one.

Convert HTML to PDF file using C#

and throwing error

Input stream for html data must be FileStream

Below is the code I used.

WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(“[http://localhost](http://localhost/):XXXXX/WebSite1/XXX.html”);

// If required by the server, set the credentials.

request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

// Get the response.

HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

// Get the stream containing content returned by the server.

Stream dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();

// Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.

StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);

// Read the content.

string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();

reader.Close();

dataStream.Close();

response.Close();

MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(responseFromServer));

HtmlLoadOptions options = new HtmlLoadOptions(“[http://localhost](http://localhost/):XXXX/WebSite1/XXX.html/”);

//options…ExternalResourcesCredentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

// load HTML file

Document pdfDocument = new Document(stream, options);

// save resultant file

pdfDocument.Save(“XXXXXXX/resultant.pdf”);

Hi,

Thanks for contacting support.

I have tested the scenario using above shared code snippet where I have tired converting google.com page to PDF format and I am unable to notice any exception when referencing Aspose.Pdf.dll version 17.4.0 through NuGet.

Can you please share a sample project, which can help us in replicating the issue in our environment. We are sorry for this inconvenience.

[C#]

System.Net.WebRequest request = System.Net.WebRequest.Create("https://www.google.com.pk/?gws_rd=cr&ei=Y6LvWKOvB8u7aruKr7AL");

// If required by the server, set the credentials.
request.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

// Get the response.
System.Net.HttpWebResponse response = (System.Net.HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

// Get the stream containing content returned by the server.
Stream dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();

// Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);

// Read the content.
string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();

reader.Close();
dataStream.Close();
response.Close();

MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(responseFromServer));

HtmlLoadOptions options = new HtmlLoadOptions("https://www.google.com.pk/?gws_rd=cr&ei=Y6LvWKOvB8u7aruKr7AL");

//options..ExternalResourcesCredentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

// load HTML file
Document pdfDocument = new Document(stream, options);

// save resultant file
pdfDocument.Save("c:/pdftest/WebPage.pdf");
