Need help with creating PDF from HTML using itextsharp
- by Steven
I'm trying to crate a PDF out of a HTML page. The CMS I'm using is EPiServer.
This is my code so far:
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
naaflib.pdfDocument(CurrentPage);
}
public static void pdfDocument(PageData pd)
{
//Extract data from Page (pd).
string intro = pd["MainIntro"].ToString(); // Attribute
string mainBody = pd["MainBody"].ToString(); // Attribute
// makae ready HttpContext
HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
// Create PDF document
Document pdfDocument = new Document(PageSize.A4, 80, 50, 30, 65);
//PdfWriter pw = PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDocument, HttpContext.Current.Response.OutputStream);
PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDocument, HttpContext.Current.Response.OutputStream);
pdfDocument.Open();
pdfDocument.Add(new Paragraph(pd.PageName));
pdfDocument.Add(new Paragraph(intro));
pdfDocument.Add(new Paragraph(mainBody));
pdfDocument.Close();
HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
}
This outputs the content of the article name, intro-text and main body.
But it does not pars HTML which is in the article text and there is no layout.
I've tried having a look at http://itextsharp.sourceforge.net/tutorial/index.html without becomming any wiser.
Any pointers to the right direction is greatly appreciated :)
