How to avoid text and image splitting when converting HTML to PDF?

The Syncfusion HTML to PDF for .NET is used for converting webpages, SVG, MHTML, and HTML to PDF. Using this library, you can avoid text and image splitting across the WinForms PDF pages while converting HTML to PDF.

Steps to avoid text and image splitting on HTML to PDF conversion:

1. Create a new C# Windows Forms application project.

2. Install the Syncfusion.HtmlToPdfConverter.QtWebKit.WinForms NuGet package as a reference to your .NET Framework application from NuGet.org.

3. Copy the QtBinaries folder from the HtmltoPdfConverter NuGet package installed location to the project folder that contains the HTMLtoPDF_Sample.csproj file.

4. Disable the SplitTextLines and SplitImages properties available in the WebKitConverterSettings instance to avoid the text and image splitting during the HTML to PDF conversion. Find the sample and code sample as follows.

C#

//Initialize the HTML to PDF converter
HtmlToPdfConverter htmlConverter = new HtmlToPdfConverter(HtmlRenderingEngine.WebKit);
 
//Initialize WebKitConverterSetttings
WebKitConverterSettings settings = new WebKitConverterSettings();
 
//Set WebKit path
settings.WebKitPath = @"/QtBinaries/";
 
//Set the SplitTextLines property
settings.SplitTextLines = false;
 
//Set the SplitImages property
settings.SplitImages = false;
 
//Assign WebKit settings to HTML converter
htmlConverter.ConverterSettings = settings;
 
//Convert URL to PDF
PdfDocument document = htmlConverter.Convert("input.html");
 
//Save and close the PDF document
document.Save("Output.pdf");
document.Close(true);
