Hi Harisankar,   

  

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

Hi Harisankar,    

   

The HTML text element in PDF document supports in base platforms like WF, WPF, ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC, and ASP.NET Web Forms and not in UWP, ASP.NET Core and Xamarin Forms. So due to this platform specification, it does not support in Xamarin Android. These are the details which we shared in our previous update.    

   

Please let us know if you have any concerns about this.
