        using (Aspose.Html.Rendering.HtmlRenderer renderer = new Aspose.Html.Rendering.HtmlRenderer())
        using (Aspose.Html.HTMLDocument html_document = new Aspose.Html.HTMLDocument(@"http://localhost:1234/xyz/Details/1234"))
        {
            // Render the output using HtmlRenderer
            renderer.Render(pdf_device, html_document);

Thank you for sharing further details.

We can not reproduce the issue because we do not have access to the page which exists on your local host. Can you please save the web page locally and then share it with us as a single zipped file so that we may try to reproduce and investigate it in our environment.

It will be a little difficult to provide current code since we are binding data to Kendo grid from database. We will try to provide sample files which having Kendo grid and pdf attachments

Before that could you please let us know that if Aspose.HTML is compatible with KendoUI or not? In one of your forum topic it is mentioned that Aspose.PDF is not compatible with Kendo. Is it the same case for Aspose.HTML ?

Please take all the time you need and get back to us as per your convenience. We need to perform some detailed investigations to check if this 3rd party library is supported by Aspose.HTML for .NET or not. Therefore, an investigation ticket with ID HTMLNET-1474 has been logged in our issue management system. We will let you know as soon as some significant update will be available.

any update on ticket HTMLNET-1474 ?

Sorry for the delayed response.

We would like to share with you that investigation against logged ticket has already been started. However, initial investigation of the ticket revealed that we need to refactor JavaScript module of our API before adding support for rendering Kendo UI. Please note that mentioned support will take time to be added in API as it includes refactoring of API modules. We cannot promise for any reliable ETA but, as a rough estimate the task is expected to be completed in next year.

Furthermore, please also note that the ticket is logged under free support model and has low priority. You can definitely consider escalating it to next level by using our paid support support option where issues are resolved on urgent basis. As soon as we have some definite updates regarding resolution of the issue, we will share with you. Please spare us little time.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.
