We can manually wait HtmlConverter up to the document loading using WindowStatus property in WebKit HTML converter. We can use windows status instead of addition delay. In additional delay, we do not know the exact time that need for execution of JavaScript. By windows status you can avoid this problem.

Note: Both window status should be same, else converter never stops the conversion

Assemblies Required

Syncfusion.Compression.Base.dll
Syncfusion.HtmlConverter.Base.dll
Syncfusion.Pdf.Base.dll
QtBinaries folder

All the above mentioned assemblies can be get by installing the WebKit installer available in the below link.
