Just stops at LoadFromHTML and exits sub

[robriver]

We are trying freespire.pdf to see if it can work for us to pull a pdf gift card from a remote server and print at the printer set as windows default. Using VB.net we have a simple textbox and button on a form with the code below as the button action.

I get stuck at LoadFromHtml the program hits that line and then exits the sub entirely. Not sure what to do

Code: Select all

 Dim remoteUrl As String = "https://.../gift-cards/" & txtCardNumber.Text & ".pdf"

        Dim pdf As PdfDocument = New PdfDocument
        pdf.LoadFromHTML(remoteUrl, 0, 0, 1)
        pdf.PrintDocument.Print()

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us.
The issue is caused by that you used a wrong way to load a Pdf from Url. Please refer to below sample code to try again.

Code: Select all

Using webClient As New WebClient()
    Dim data() As Byte = webClient.DownloadData(PdfUrl)
    Using stream As New MemoryStream(data)
         Dim pdf As PdfDocument = New PdfDocument(stream)
    End Using
End Using

I get error now on on (Stream) too many arguments from your example.

Code: Select all

Dim pdf As PdfDocument = New PdfDocument(stream)

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback.
I forgot to tell you earlier that the free version doesn't support loading stream. Sorry for that. Please upgrade to our commercial version Spire.PDF Pack(Hot Fix) Version:4.4.0 to have a test.
