Create PDF from HTML snippet using PdfSharp with external CSS classes included in HTML
I would like to know if there is a way by which I can
Create PDF from HTML snippet using PdfSharp
having external CSS
classes included in the HTML
.
I found a way to generate a PDF using HTML content, but my css classes are not being applied to the PDF.
This is how I do it for a simple html string:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using PdfSharp.Drawing;
using PdfSharp.Pdf;
using System.Drawing;
using TheArtOfDev.HtmlRenderer.PdfSharp;
using PdfSharp;
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PdfDocument pdf = PdfGenerator.GeneratePdf("<h1>tests</h1><p>test para</p>", PageSize.A4,20,null,null,null);
pdf.Save(@"C\testPDF.pdf");
}
}
And so it is:
But I want to include an HTML line like this:
<h1>tests</h1><p class='para1'>test para</p>
Is there a way to achieve this? Using a different library is not a problem only that the library used must be open source.

You can include your style in the chapter section and it will display correctly:
var testHtml = @"<head>
<style>
.test {
background-color: linen;
color: maroon;
}
</style>
</head>
<body class=""test"">
<p>
<h1>Hello World</h1>
This is html rendered text with css and image.
</p>

<img src=""http://fc62.deviantart.com/fs11/i/2006/236/d/e/The_Planet_Express_Ship_by_gasclown.jpg"" height=""100"" width=""100"">
</p>
</body>";
What's more - you can just add the url to your stylesheet and it should work!
