IsHtmlTagSupported- FontName and FontSize

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

I’m having difficulty getting what worked in version 2.2 to work in our newly upgraded version 8.5 of Aspose.Pdf.

Having set a font name and size for a text element I find that these values are ignored if IsHtmlTagSupported is set to true.

If, however I set UseTextInfoStyle=“true”, the font name and size are correct but all the HTML tags are then ignored.

This is the c# code demonstrating the issue:

//Instantiate the Pdf instance

Pdf pdf = new Pdf();

Aspose.Pdf.License license = new Aspose.Pdf.License();

license.SetLicense(@“c:\Development\Libs\Aspose.Pdf.lic”);


//Bind the XML and XSLT file

pdf.BindXML(@“c:\temp\test.xml”, null);


//Save the resultant PDF

pdf.Save(@“c:\temp\test.pdf”);


and the XML:


	<Section 
		PageMarginRight=“25” 
		PageMarginTop=“25” 
		PageMarginLeft=“25” 
		PageMarginBottom=“25” 
		PageWidth=“816”
		PageHeight=“1050” >
		<Text 
			MarginTop=“0.5cm”
			FontName=“Tahoma” 
			FontSize=“10”>
			
				This is the basic text.
			 
		
		<Text 
			MarginTop=“0.5cm”
			IsHtmlTagSupported=“true” 
			FontName=“Tahoma” 
			FontSize=“10”>
			
				This is <span style=“color: red;”>also</span> test text with IsHtmlTagSupported=“true”.
			 
		
		<Text 
			MarginTop=“0.5cm”
			IsHtmlTagSupported=“true” 
			UseTextInfoStyle=“true”
			FontName=“Tahoma” 
			FontSize=“10”>
			
				This is <span style=“color: red;”>also</span> test text with IsHtmlTagSupported=“true” and UseTextInfoStyle=“true”.
			 
		
	


As you can see from the attached screenshot, only the first line is correct.

I am expecting the font name and size to be inhirited in the HTMLand this is not happening.

Your help would be appreciated.

I’m finding the same bug.


FontName, Color, IsTrueTypeFontBold attributes are ignored if IsHtmlTagSupported=“true”. (Everything is black Times Roman instead of white Verdana). I guess any other attribute is ignored. If I take out IsHtmlTagSupported, the other attributes work properly.

I have just been able to revisit this issue and I agree, the first of the two issues reported has been fixed.

However, the second has not.

If you use the supplied XML to create a PDF you will find that the third line has the correct font inherited from the XML BUT the HTML tag in the text has been ignored. The HTML should set the colour of the word ‘also’ to red as in the second line. This was reported in line 3 y original post.

Therefore, the Aspose PDF component is still not working as is should.

Hi Mark,


Thanks for your inquiry. Please use IfHtmlTagSupportedCssWinsOnFirstLevelChildren=“true” attribute in textblock. It will affects the necessary color of font and will fix the use of IsHtmlSupported and TextInfoSyle together. Please check sample XML and output PDF file for the reference.

Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.

Best Regards,
