InsertHTML for PDF

Harley123 · September 17, 2006, 9:27pm

Does Aspose.PDF have an equivalent of the InsertHTML method in Aspose.Words?

I want to add a HTML string (with an un/ordered list) to a PDF document. I tried Adding a Text object with IsHTMLTagSupported set to true, but the text shows all the HTML tags.

How can I do this?

Thanks.

Please refer to [Working with Text Containing HTML Tags](https://forum.aspose.com/wiki/default.aspx/Aspose.Pdf/TextContainingHtmlTags.html). If it still won’t work, please provide an example that can reproduce the problem.

In this help 'Text Containing Html Tags' there seems to be no support for html lists ie tags

,

. Is this the case? What is the easiest way to create these lists in PDF format. The code I have works fine if each item is on a single line, but does not align correctly is an item is on more than one line.

I have finished the function to support the unordered list, but it will cost much more time that the ordered list is a little complex.

The new fix will be available soon.

Thanks a lot!
