Problems getting HTML emails in PDF

Herman404 · November 22, 2011, 7:20am

Hi,

I am having an issue placing HTML emails which come from Outlook into a PDF. It works with simple messages, but on placing more complex ones I either get most of the message that does not appear on the PDF, or a NotSupportedException thrown on the pdf.Save method call. I took a look at this link (http://www.aspose.com/documentation/.net-components/aspose.pdf-for-.net/html-tags-in-text.html) so it may be that when Outlook messages (which are created by MS Word) have HTML tags which may not be supported by Aspose.Pdf.Generator. In that case, would it be recommended to create a Word Document with these Outlook HTML email messages and append it to my PDF via this method (<A href="https://forum.aspose.com/t/74694</A>)? Can someone from Aspose support get back to me on this? I will be happy to send over the HTML and any other files you might need. Thanks, Herman Code that reads HTML and saves: Section secBody = pdf.Sections.Add(); using (StreamReader sr = File.OpenText(@"F:\emailtest1.html"))

{

Text txt = new Text(secBody, sr.ReadToEnd());

txt.IsHtmlTagSupported = true;

secBody.Paragraphs.Add(txt);

}

pdf.Save("C:\\temp\\test.pdf");

NotSupportException details, this only occurs on some email HTML files:

System.NotSupportedException was unhandled
Message=The given path's format is not supported.

Hi Rashid,

I checked with my firm and I the HTML contains confidential information so I can't circulate it outside of the company. I discovered I can get the Aspose.Words classes to parse the HTML fine, let me try that...
