I am wondering if there is a way to use the html to pdf conversion and pass a
page break. I am passing a page break with css as <div
style="page-break-before: always;"> </div> but it does not recognize it.
Is there another way to accomplish this?
This is how I am using iTextSharp 5.1.3.0 to convert the html to pdf:
Function SaveHtmlToPDF(content As String, fname As String, title as String,
author As String, pageType As String, pageOrient As String) As Integer
'---20120326: Created.
'---Uses iTextSharp API
'--- Remove <hr> tags
'--- add width attributes to TD
'--- add align attributes to TD
'--- add br at top of page to allow title to display properly
'---Save content to fname (over-writes existing file)
Dim currentContext As System.Web.HttpContext = System.Web.HttpContext.Current
'---Save document to docs folder (pdf)
Dim document As iTextSharp.text.Document
if(lcase(pageType) = "legal") then
if(pageOrient = "Landscape") then
document = new
iTextSharp.text.Document(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.Legal.Rotate, 25, 25, 25, 25)
else
document = new iTextSharp.text.Document(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.Legal, 25,
25, 25, 25)
end if
else
if(pageOrient = "Landscape") then
document = new
iTextSharp.text.Document(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.Letter.Rotate, 25, 25, 25, 25)
else
document = new iTextSharp.text.Document(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.Letter,
25, 25, 25, 25)
end if
end if
Dim filePath As String
'filePath = Server.MapPath("~\"& systemDir &"\docs\"& strDetailId &"\"&
strIncidentNo &"_Incident.pdf")
filePath = currentContext.Server.MapPath(fname)
PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create))
document.Open()
'Dim pass_null As iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.StyleSheet
Dim pass_null = new iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.StyleSheet()
pass_null.LoadStyle("test", "color", "black")
'pass_null = Empty.Value
'pass_null = Nothing
'renderPage = "<html><body>hi</body></html>"
Dim str_renderPage = new StringReader(content)
Dim parsedHtmlElements As Object
'---Note: Add tag attribute width and bgcolor for correct formating. HR tag
is problematic.
'---Replace <hr/> with <table border="& quote &"1"& quote &" width="& quote
&"100%"& quote &"><tr><td> </td></tr></table>
parsedHtmlElements = HTMLWorker.ParseToList(str_renderPage, pass_null)
for each htmlElement As IElement in parsedHtmlElements
'if( (InStr(htmlElement.ToString(),"<hr") > 0) or
(InStr(htmlElement.ToString(),"<br") > 0) ) then
'---skip
'else
document.Add(htmlElement)
'end if
next
'---Add Document Title
document.AddTitle(title)
'---Add Document Author
document.AddAuthor(author)
document.Close
return 1
End Function
