Hi,

i am building a PDF document. i need to add text
Dim s1 As String = "STAFF STATUS: "
to a table cell. since it has html in it, i believe i have to do something different.
here is part the code.

Dim doc As Document = New Document()
doc.Pages.Add()
Dim secEmail As Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Section = pdf.Sections.Add()
Dim ProviderTable As Aspose.Pdf.Table = New Aspose.Pdf.Table()
ProviderTable.ColumnWidths = “200 300”
Dim Provrow1 As Row = ProviderTable.Rows.Add()
Dim Provrow1col As Cell = Provrow1.Cells.Add(CommitteeDate)
…
Dim s1 As String = "STAFF STATUS: "
Dim text1 As Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Text = New Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Text(s1)
text1.IsHtmlTagSupported = True
text1.TextInfo.IsUnicode = True

Dim Provrow20 As Row = ProviderTable.Rows.Add()
Dim Provrow20col1 As Cell = Provrow20.Cells.Add()
text1.ID = s1 ‘’ not sure this is right ‘’
Provrow20col1.Paragraphs.Add(s1) ‘’ it does not like this ''

i need to add the text with html to that cell.

thanks in advance.

Hi Ying,


Thanks for your inquiry. You may use HtmlFragment to add html text in PDF document. Please check following sample code to add HtmlFragment in table cell and please also check documentation link for adding html string in PDF for more details.

Hi Rolly,

I have tested the scenario using following code snippet (based on code snippet shared above) and I am unable to notice any problem. The HTML contents are properly being displayed inside table cells. Can you please share some details regarding the issue which you are facing.

For your reference, I have also attached the resultant PDF genearted over my end.

[C#]

//
Load source PDF document<o:p></o:p>

Aspose.Pdf.Document doc = new Aspose.Pdf.Document();

doc.Pages.Add();

// Initializes a new instance of the Table

Aspose.Pdf.Table table = new Aspose.Pdf.Table();

doc.Pages[1].Paragraphs.Add(table);

table.ColumnWidths = "100 100 100";

//table.ColumnAdjustment = ColumnAdjustment.AutoFitToContent;

// Set the table border color as LightGray

table.Border = new Aspose.Pdf.BorderInfo(Aspose.Pdf.BorderSide.All, .5f, Aspose.Pdf.Color.FromRgb(System.Drawing.Color.LightGray));

// set the border for table cells

table.DefaultCellBorder = new Aspose.Pdf.BorderInfo(Aspose.Pdf.BorderSide.All, .5f, Aspose.Pdf.Color.FromRgb(System.Drawing.Color.LightGray));

// create a loop to add 10 rows

// add row to table

Aspose.Pdf.Row rowCoverpage = table.Rows.Add();

rowCoverpage.FixedRowHeight = 20;

// add table cells

rowCoverpage.Cells.Add();

var html1 = new HtmlFragment("QUOTATION

");

html1.HorizontalAlignment = Aspose.Pdf.HorizontalAlignment.Center;

rowCoverpage.Cells[0].Paragraphs.Add(html1);

rowCoverpage.Cells.Add("Column 2");

var celllabelQuotation = rowCoverpage.Cells.Add();

var html2 = new HtmlFragment("QUOTATION");

html2.HorizontalAlignment = Aspose.Pdf.HorizontalAlignment.Center; ////NOT WORKING

celllabelQuotation.Paragraphs.Add(html2);

// Save updated document containing table object

doc.Save(“c:/pdftest/HtmlInPDF.pdf”);

Nayyer, I attached the output image. Below code is use html1.HorizontalAlignment = Aspose.Pdf.HorizontalAlignment.Center; to alignt the text of the cell in the center position. But its not working.

I want all text to be centered position.

var pdfdoc = new Aspose.Pdf.Document();
pdfdoc.PageInfo.Width = 650;
pdfdoc.PageInfo.Height = 850;
pdfdoc.PageInfo.Margin.Left = 40;
pdfdoc.PageInfo.Margin.Right = 40;
pdfdoc.PageInfo.Margin.Bottom = 25;
pdfdoc.PageInfo.Margin.Top = 50;
var pdfpage = pdfdoc.Pages.Add();

//cover page logo
var imgISClogo1 = new Aspose.Pdf.Image();
imgISClogo1.ImageStream = new FileStream(Server.MapPath(@"~/images/isc_blue.jpg").ToString(), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
imgISClogo1.FixHeight = 112;
imgISClogo1.FixWidth = 100;
var imgISCtext = new Aspose.Pdf.Image();
imgISCtext.ImageStream = new FileStream(Server.MapPath(@"~/images/isc_text_blue.png").ToString(), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
imgISCtext.FixHeight = 85;
imgISCtext.FixWidth = 480;

//cover page body
var tblCoverpage = new Aspose.Pdf.Table();
tblCoverpage.ColumnWidths="570";
tblCoverpage.DefaultCellBorder = new Aspose.Pdf.BorderInfo(Aspose.Pdf.BorderSide.All, 0.1F, Aspose.Pdf.Color.FromArgb(104, 100, 100));
tblCoverpage.Border = new Aspose.Pdf.BorderInfo(Aspose.Pdf.BorderSide.All, 0.1F, Aspose.Pdf.Color.FromArgb(104, 100, 100));
var rowCoverpage = tblCoverpage.Rows.Add();
rowCoverpage.DefaultCellTextState.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
var cellisclogo1 = rowCoverpage.Cells.Add();
cellisclogo1.Paragraphs.Add(imgISClogo1);
rowCoverpage = tblCoverpage.Rows.Add();
var cellisclogo2 = rowCoverpage.Cells.Add();
cellisclogo2.Paragraphs.Add(imgISCtext);
rowCoverpage = tblCoverpage.Rows.Add();
var celllabelQuotation = rowCoverpage.Cells.Add();
var html1 = new HtmlFragment("

QUOTATION

");
///html1.Margin.Left = 190;
html1.HorizontalAlignment = Aspose.Pdf.HorizontalAlignment.Center;
celllabelQuotation.Paragraphs.Add(html1);

//celllabelQuotation.Paragraphs.Add();
rowCoverpage = tblCoverpage.Rows.Add();
var celllabelCustomer = rowCoverpage.Cells.Add();

if(enq.customernumber==null||enq.customernumber==0)
celllabelCustomer.Paragraphs.Add(new HtmlFragment("

Customer

"));
else
celllabelCustomer.Paragraphs.Add(new HtmlFragment("

Customer: " + enq.customernumber + "

"));

rowCoverpage = tblCoverpage.Rows.Add();
var celllabelCustomerName = rowCoverpage.Cells.Add();
celllabelCustomerName.Paragraphs.Add(new HtmlFragment("

"));
rowCoverpage = tblCoverpage.Rows.Add();
var celllabelFacilityNumber = rowCoverpage.Cells.Add();
celllabelFacilityNumber.Paragraphs.Add(new HtmlFragment("

"));
rowCoverpage = tblCoverpage.Rows.Add();
var celllabelFacilityName = rowCoverpage.Cells.Add();
celllabelFacilityName.Paragraphs.Add(new HtmlFragment("

pdfpage.Paragraphs.Add(tblCoverpage);

tblCoverpage.IsInNewPage = true;v
