HttpReadType

[Travis Powell]

Hello, How do I resolve this error?

Error 34 The type 'Syncfusion.Pdf.HttpReadType' exists in both
'C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Syncfusion.Pdf.Base\9.103.0.20__3d67ed1f87d44c89\Syncfusion.Pdf.Base.dll' and

'D:\Perforce\Current\Portal\WebGui\ASPX\Bin\syncfusion.pdf.base.dll'

D:\Perforce\Current\Portal\WebGui\ASPX\ExportQueue.aspx.cs 293 76 D:\...\ASPX\

And is there anyway to pass cookies to HTML to PDF from String conversion?

Hi Travis,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

1. To solve the Error:
You can avoid the error by removing the assemblies from the local folder (Bin).

2. HTML To PDF:
It is possible to convert a HTML string to PDF. You may use the HTML string from the cookies as in the code given below.

PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();
        PdfPage page = pdf.Pages.Add();
        int width = (int)page.GetClientSize().Width;
        
        string html = Request.Cookies["Name"].Value;
        
        using (HtmlConverter converter = new HtmlConverter())
        {
            converter.EnableHyperlinks = true;
            converter.EnableJavaScript = true;

            using (HtmlToPdfResult result = converter.Convert(html, ImageType.Metafile, width, -1, AspectRatio.KeepWidth))
            {
                PdfMetafileLayoutFormat format = new PdfMetafileLayoutFormat();
                format.Layout = PdfLayoutType.Paginate;

                result.Render(page, format);
            }
        }

        pdf.Save("Sample.pdf", Response, HttpReadType.Save);
        pdf.Close(true);

Please try this and let us know if you have any questions.

Hi Geetha,

Thank you so much for the update. I'm wondering if it's possible to submit cookies to the converter as well. I haven't found any methods that allow me to send cookies, but I'm sure there must be a way.

Thanks!

Hi Travis,

Sorry for the confusion.

With the current implementation of HtmlConverter, it is not possible to access the webbrowser’s properties to and it does not have the support to add the cookies to the target response.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
