Failed to convert the webpage exception with WebKit HTML converter

[Olivier MATROT]

I have seen the knowledge base article : https://www.syncfusion.com/kb/8208/failed-to-convert-the-webpage-exception-with-webkit-html-converter

My problem is when calling my angular website. I'm able to convert the google home page successfuly.

Is there a way to retreive the Webkit HTML error ?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I can't give you a sample because my web application is under development.

Is suspect that this has to do with security and the authorization header.

This is why I'm asking If I can enable verbose logging of the component to try to understand what is going on.

I'll try with fiddler enabled and get back to you.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Olivier, 

Thank you for your update. 

WebKit rendering engine internally make use of QtWebKit rendering engine for converting HTML to PDF. The reported exception occurs in WebKit rendering engine itself, its unable to find the width and height of the web page. We have confirmed that the issue with “Failed to convert the webpage exception occurs in particular URL using WebKit converter” is a defect and we have logged a issue report. After this fix, the output document will be preserved like(empty PDF document), how the URL is displayed in WebKit based web browser(safari). Currently we are working on this fix and we will update the details on September 3^rd 2019. 

We can achieve your requirement by using HTML string to PDF conversion, we have to get HTML string of the react web page and then convert it to PDF document. When converting HTML string to PDF, we have to specify the base URL (path of the resources) to load the external images/scripts/styles used in the HTML string. We have also saved the provide website to a HTML string and convert it into PDF document, but some resources are not added properly. Can you please get and use the HTML string for conversion instead of converting URL to PDF.  

Please refer the below link for HTML string to PDF conversion,

Please let us know if you need any further assistance on this.
