Insert HTML styled text to the PDF

[monishkumar]

Hello team.

Could you please help me in inserting HTML styled text to the PDF file in an existing page of the PDF?

The example given in your website (How to Insert HTML Styled Text to PDF in C#, VB.NET) helps only in inserting the HTML text to NEW page only.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Thanks for your inquiry.
At present the HTML text could only be drawn on PdfNewPage. But there is a way to achieve the same effect like drawing on existing page. Please refer to following code:

Code: Select all

            string text = "<p>Hello World</p>";
            PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument(FilePath + "3page.pdf");
            //get the existing page which you want to insert HTML
            PdfPageBase originalPage = doc.Pages[0];
            //insert a PdfNewPage
            PdfNewPage page = doc.Pages.Insert(0, originalPage.Size) as PdfNewPage;
            //Draw the original content on new page
            page.Canvas.DrawTemplate(originalPage.CreateTemplate(), new PointF(0, 0));
            PdfFont font = new PdfFont(PdfFontFamily.Helvetica, 12, PdfFontStyle.Regular);
            PdfBrush brush = PdfBrushes.Black;
            PdfHTMLTextElement HtmlContent = new PdfHTMLTextElement(text, font, brush);
            HtmlContent.TextAlign = Spire.Pdf.Graphics.TextAlign.Left;
            PdfMetafileLayoutFormat format = new PdfMetafileLayoutFormat();
            format.Layout = PdfLayoutType.Paginate;
            format.Break = PdfLayoutBreakType.FitPage;
            //draw html on the page
            HtmlContent.Draw(page, new RectangleF(20, 300, 200, 400), format);
            //remove original page
            doc.Pages.Remove(originalPage);         
            doc.SaveToFile("18885.pdf");

Any question, welcome to get it back to us.

PdfHTMLTextElement it not supported

[Marcia.Zhou]

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry!

Do you mean that the “PdfHTMLTextElement” class does not exist in the Spire.PDF for Java? Kindly note that this class only exists in the Spire.PDF for .NET now, once it is supported in the Java version, I will inform you ASAP.
