BlinkPath Property

[Douglas Phillips]

Good morning!

I'm working on a project that is involving the HtmlToPDF convertor, and the troubleshootnig instructions as well as forum posts here specify using the BlinkPath property on the BlinkConvertorSettings to specify where the Blink files have been stored. I am not seeing that property, only a "WebKitPath" property, which doesn't seem to work.

This is a .net 4.8 project using the netstandard2.0 version of the library. For the meantime I've resorted to manually copying the files to the tmp folder that .net builds when it instantiates the application, but that's not particularly tenable for the long term as it has to be done every time the application recycles.

Hi Douglas,

We have analyzed the reported issue on our end and suspect that the WebKit-based NuGet packages may have been installed. As a result, you are seeing the WebKitPath property instead of the expected BlinkPath property. To resolve this issue, we kindly request that you install the Blink Converter NuGet package.

 

NuGet package:  NuGet Gallery | Syncfusion.HtmlToPdfConverter.WinForms 30.2.7
 

Documentation:

NuGet Packages Required (Recommended)

 

Convert a HTML to PDF file in Windows-Forms | Syncfusion

 

Note: WebKit is a legacy rendering engine and has been unlisted from NuGet.org due to known limitations, such as a lack of support for advanced Bootstrap and CSS features. Additionally, the WebKit development team has discontinued further development and support. Therefore, we have transitioned to the latest Blink (Chromium-based) rendering engine for converting HTML to PDF documents.

Regards,
