PDF from url

[Prakash Makhija]

Hello,

I have to create a PDF from url and i am using the code from help document

here is the code:

//Create a new PDF document.

PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();

//Creates a new page and adds it as the last page of the document.

PdfPage page = document.Pages.Add();

//Create a new pdf textweblink annotation

PdfTextWebLink webLinkAnnotation = new PdfTextWebLink();

webLinkAnnotation.Url = "http://www.yahoo.com";

webLinkAnnotation.DrawTextWebLink(page, new PointF(50, 40));

//Add this annotation to a new page.

page.Annotations.Add(webLinkAnnotation);

//Save the document to disk.

document.Save("TextWebLink(.pdf");

I am getting an error on line

page.Annotations.Add(webLinkAnnotation);

and the error is "The best overloaded method match for 'Syncfusion.Pdf.Interactive.PdfAnnotationCollection.Add(Syncfusion.Pdf.Interactive.PdfAnnotation)' has some invalid arguments"

Can you please help me resolve this issue?

thanks

Hi Prakash,

Thank you for using Syncfusion products,

Please use the below code to create web link in the PDF

            PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();

            //Creates a new page and adds it as the last page of the document.

            PdfPage page = document.Pages.Add();

            //Create a new pdf textweblink annotation

            PdfTextWebLink webLinkAnnotation = new PdfTextWebLink();

            webLinkAnnotation.Url = "http://www.yahoo.com";

            webLinkAnnotation.Text = "Click to go Yahoo";

            webLinkAnnotation.Font = new PdfTrueTypeFont(new Font("Arial", 12));

            webLinkAnnotation.Pen = PdfPens.Brown;

            webLinkAnnotation.DrawTextWebLink(page, new PointF(50, 40));

            //Add this annotation to a new page.

            //Save the document to disk.

            document.Save("TextWebLink.pdf");
