    PDF conversion significantly different than HTML

    Reply Quote
    I have big problems with HTML2PDF! Nice HTML structure becomes all wrong when converted to PDF.
     
    What am I doing wrong!?
     
    Here's the HTML display in CE:
     
     
     
     
     
     
    and here's the PDF Version! How can it be so different?
     
     
     
     
    1. It's got the wrong font.
    2. It doesn't have the correct top, bottom, right and left margins.
    3. It is inserting several spaces between paragraphs instead of just one...
    4. Further on in the document, I inserted a page break which isn't being recognized in the PDF output...
     
    Here is my code:
     

    Response.ClearContent()

    Response.ClearHeaders()

    Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"

    Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=MyPDF.pdf")

    Dim sm As System.IO.MemoryStream = New System.IO.MemoryStream

    Dim html2pdf As CuteEditor.Convertor.PDF.HTML2PDF = New CuteEditor.Convertor.PDF.HTML2PDF(Editor1.Text)

    Try

    html2pdf.RenderSinglePageContent = False

    html2pdf.Render()

    html2pdf.Save(sm)

    sm.WriteTo(Response.OutputStream)

    sm.Close()

    Finally

    sm = Nothing

    End Try

    Response.End()

    Exit Sub

     
     
    And here's the HTML in CE:
     
    <html xmlns:st1="">
        <head>
        </head>
        <body style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial" bottommargin="75" leftmargin="100" topmargin="75" rightmargin="75">

            <div>&nbsp;</div>
            <div>In recent years, the company has faced new challenges, ad infinitum and so one and one are often no longer two but rather become something entirely different.</div>
            <div>&nbsp;</div>
            <div>Some of those involve this, some involve that..</div>
            <div>&nbsp;</div>

            <div>That mandate required the following tasks to be completed:</div>

            <div>The company's executive staff:</div>

            <div><strong>Events</strong></div>
            <div>&nbsp;</div>
            <div>In June, 2007, Hason and Jason did this and that.<br />
            </div>
        </body>
    </html>
     
    I need to fix this right away. What should I do?
