Convert mhtl to pdf using .net framework blink engine

[Mobile Team]

Hi ,

Reading few articles regarding conversion from mhtl to pdf I was under the impression that you your nuget package for .net framework could convert mhtl to pdf - we did try an mhtl file with an embedded image but could not convert the image when processed.

Do you have an example where you convert an mhtl file with embedded image to pdf using .net Framework?

Many thanks

Hi thank you for your reply and your sample.

Your sample works , however we have noticed that you are pointing to an endpoint (url) to display the image rather than an embedded image.

we have a situation where we need to display an email where the image is embedded in the document.

I have attached a sample mht with embedded image  to prove the point.

1. You will see that if you load this file using MS word for example it will display an image at the top left corner correctly.
2. if you use your sample project the file provided in the zip it  will not be displayed.

This is the problem we are trying to solve .

Can your converter handle embedded image with an mht file?

thanks again for your help

We have checked the provided MHTML file in our end. Blink converter internally makes use of chromium executable in headless mode for converting MHTML to PDF. It will preserve the PDF document like how the input MHTML is displayed in chromium-based web browsers (chrome print preview).The same behavior replicates in our converter. So this is not an issue in our converter.

Please refer below screenshot

So, kindly check the image rendering issue in chrome browser and print preview with the mhtml file. 

Please let us know if you need any further assistance in this

Hi 

thanks for your reply, I see and get your point. However we still need to find a solution to our problem, I understand that your converter does what chrome does...

thanks again

The reported issues still need a lot more in-depth research; thus we are looking into them. On January 31st, 2023, further information will be updated.

 

On further analyzing the provided code snippet, we found that you are referring to some image files in your mhtml file. can you please share those image file with us. so that we can assist with you further in this.

We have checked other possibilities by modifying the mhtml file, but the base64 image included in the mhtml file is not being displayed correctly, and it was referred from the content location. So that we could not proceed further on this
