We have an application that creates Pdf pages by using various Syncfusion components, such as PdfGrid,
PdfSectionTemplate and so on. There are also some pages that have their content created from a html string by using the HtmlToPdfConverter with the Blink rendering engine. All pages have a header as well as a footer.
This works perfectly fine up to version 20.1.0.61.
Problems start occuring when updating the Syncfusion libraries "Syncfusion.HtmlToPdfConverter.Blink.Net.Core.Windows" and "Syncfusion.Pdf.Net.Core" to a version higher than 20.1.0.61.
After updating the libraries (and not changing the code that creates the pdfs in any way), the pages that use the
HtmlToPdfConverter have their layout scrambled.
The header is missing completely, the html content is at the wrong location (not centered horizontally or vertically) and the footer is also misplaced and does not have the correct width.
All pages that do not use the HtmlToPdfConverter do still work perfectly fine.
We tried updating the libraries to 20.2.X.X as well as 20.3.X.X (we know that with version 20.3.0.47 the packages were renamed) but the problem persists.
When looking at the release notes, we could not find anything that would indicate or explain this bahavior.
Is this a known bug?
Is there anything we can to to update to the latest libraries without having to change our code?
Thank you for your time.
Kind regards
Phil
