While converting html to pdf- html controls are printed twice in pdf

Aspose.Total Product Family
#1

Hi,


I am generating html string from the current page(in C#.net) and I want to generate pdf from that string.
I have tried this from 2 ways :
1. Generated HTML / HTM file from that string and tried to convert it into pdf.
2. Fed that string to Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Text object as an input.
In both ways, I am getting same pdf.
The issues I am facing are -
1. The controls are repeating (getting printed 2 times) in the pdf.
2. On 1st page, I am not getting radio buttons that are on html page.(I am getting radio buttons on 2nd page).
I have checked the html string is correct by saving the page as .html. Also the same string is generating correct pdf by using some other pdf generator tool.

I am using latest version of aspose.

I have attached sample file with test data.

Thanks

Thanks for using our products.

Hi,


Please find PrintPage.txt - Source code for PrintPage.html. I am writing html - string into .html file and then trying to convert it into pdf.

This is the code :

TextWriter tsw = new StreamWriter(@“C:\Documents and Settings\RuchaD\Desktop\PrintPage.html”);
tsw.WriteLine(html);
tsw.Close();


Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Pdf pdf = new Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Pdf();
Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Section section = pdf.Sections.Add();

section.PageInfo.Margin.Left = 0;
section.PageInfo.Margin.Right = 0;
section.PageInfo.Margin.Bottom = 0;
section.PageInfo.Margin.Top = 0;

section.PageInfo.PageWidth = 800;
section.PageInfo.PageHeight = 1000;

section.PageInfo.PageWidth = Aspose.Pdf.Generator.PageSize.LetterHeight;
section.PageInfo.PageHeight = Aspose.Pdf.Generator.PageSize.LetterHeight;

StreamReader r = File.OpenText(@“C:\Documents and Settings\RuchaD\Desktop\PrintPage.html”);
Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Text text2 = new Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Text(r.ReadToEnd());

text2.IsHtmlTagSupported = true;
section.Paragraphs.Add(text2);

string fileName1 = “Form” + System.DateTime.Now.ToString(“yyyyMMddHHmmss”);
fileName1 = “D:/pdftest/” + fileName1 + “.pdf”;
pdf.Save(fileName1);

Also can you suggest any page layout, to fit this html page into appropriate pdf page ?

Thanks,
Rucha

Hi Rucha,


Thanks for sharing the resource file.

I
have tested the scenario and I am able to reproduce the same problem that controls are appearing twice on resultant PDF file. For the
sake of correction, I have logged it in our issue tracking system as PDFNEWNET-35760. We
will investigate this issue in details and will keep you updated on the status
of a correction. <o:p></o:p>

We apologize for your inconvenience.

Hi Rucha,

Since we recently have been able to notice this issue, and until
or unless we have investigated and have figured out the actual reasons of this
problem, we might not be able to share any timelines by which this problem will
be resolved.<o:p></o:p>

However, as soon as we have made some significant progress towards the resolution of this issue, we would be more than happy to update you with the status of correction. Please be patient and spare us little time. Your patience and comprehension is greatly appreciated in this regard.

Currently Aspose.Pdf.Generator supports the capability to transform HTML files to PDF format. However, you may also consider using Aspose.Words for .NET which provides the capability to create and manipulate MS Word files. It also offers the feature to read HTML files and save the output as either DOC/DOCX or PDF format. My fellow worker from respective team will share further details regarding this component.

Hi Rucha,


Thanks for your inquiry. You can convert html to Pdf file format by using Aspose.Words. Please use the following code snippet to convert your html to Pdf.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir

  • “in.html”);<o:p></o:p>

doc.Save(MyDir + "Out.pdf");


Moreover, upon processing HTML, some features of HTML might be lost. You can find a list of limitations upon HTML exporting/importing here:

http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/wordsnet/Save+in+the+HTML+%28.HTML%2C+.XHTML%2C+.MHTML%29+Format

Hope this helps you. Please let us know if you have any more queries.

Hi Rucha,


Further to my last post, I have noticed that your input html contain the form fields (TextInput and DropDown) which do not export in output Pdf. I have logged this issue as WORDSNET-8874 in our issue tracking system. I have linked this forum thread to the same issue and you will be notified via this forum thread once this issue is resolved. We apologize for your inconvenience.

Moreover, Form fields are fully supported by Aspose.Words.There is an option to export form fields as dynamic fields in HTML as and tags or to export them as plain text.

Only and tags are imported back as fields. The input types that have direct Microsoft Word analogs are imported as working form fields.

Radio and image input elements are imported as image shapes and are non-clickable. Input elements attributed with hidden or disabled are not imported.

Hi Nayyer and Tahir,


Thanks for your reply.

I tried your code.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + “in.html”);
doc.Save(MyDir + “Out.pdf”);

But its not working for my code. Its printing .doc in correct format, but its pdf is not as per required format.

Thanks,
Rucha
