Hi Prakash,

Thank you for using Syncfusion Products.

 

Please include the following mentioned line for generating PDF without error.

Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(converter));

t.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);

t.Start();

t.Join();

Hi Prakash,

Thank you for your update.

 

Please use the HTML converter inside “Using” statement, here is the code snippet:

using (HtmlConverter html = new HtmlConverter())

{

  Image img = html.ConvertToImage("http://www.google.com", ImageType.Metafile, (int)width, (int)pageSize.Height, AspectRatio.KeepWidth);

 

I have attached a sample for your reference.

WebApplication1.zip

Also make sure that web application deployed in full trust mode.

We do not support for converting HTML to PDF in Medium Trust.

Please refer the link for more details.

Hello,

I have noticed that t.join in the below code is giving error when i deploy the code on server.

Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(converter));

t.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);

t.Start();

t.Join();

If i comment the join stmt it doesn't give error, it just display the blank page i.e. converter method doesn't get executed, can you please let me know the possible cause of error?

Thanks

Hello,

I got it working, the issue was Microsoft.MSHTML.dll was not there in GAC, but i got another issue my web page is more than one page but in pdf it renders only one page so i lost remaining data.

Can you please provide me the solution to this problem?

Thanks

Hi Prakash,

Thank you for your update.

 

Could you please set the Layout to Paginate.

Please see the code snippet below:

//Set the layout format

PdfMetafileLayoutFormat format = new PdfMetafileLayoutFormat();

format.Layout = PdfLayoutType.Paginate;

 

This will create the multipage Pdf document. The sample attached in the last update have these code snippet.

Please let us know if you have any concern.

 

Thanks,
