PdfHtmlLayoutFormat for .net core

[ITSupport@medbank.com.mt]

Hi,

I am trying to create a PDF converter to convert HTML pages to PDF's in a .net core solution, but seems like 'PdfHtmlLayoutFormat' is not supported yet!
Is there an indication when this will be available? or is there another workaround to it (since all examples point to using PdfHtmlLayoutFormat)?

Thanks.

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Sorry that our Spire.PDF doesn't support converting HTML to PDF on .NET Core at present and there is no other workaround for it. However, we have added it as a new feature into our upgrade list, but it is hard to tell you when the feature can be achieved at this moment. Our Dev team is working on it. Once it is available in the future, we will let you know.

Sincerely,

We are working on .Net core 3.0, For that version this PdfHtmlLayoutFormat is not supporting for me too.
Have you find the solution for this ?
Please let me know.

NuGet link:https: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Spire.PDF/

Please refer to following tutorials to convert HTML to PDF with plugin:

As for Spire.XLS, we already supported .NET Core. Now the latest version is Spire.XLS Pack Version:9.7, you could download it and have a try.
As for Spire.Spreedsheet, sorry that it cannot be used in ASP.NET Core web application.
Note, if you want to use more Spire products in one project, you need to use Spire.Office. Now we don't include the new Spire.PDF in Spire.Office. If you need Spire.Office, please let me know. We will inform you once Spire.Office includes the new feature.

I am in need of getting an multiple URL output one by one in a single page for multiple input URL which i have given.
I am getting an output in a single pages from the Spire.PDF which you have given to me.

Hi sudher,

Thanks for your information.
After convertting multiple URL to multiple PDFs, you want to merge them into one PDF, right?
If so, please refer to following guide to merge PDFs.

Thanks, We did this and some times "System.IndexOutOfRangeException: 'Index was outside the bounds of the array.' " error was shown. Once rebuild the application is working well.

In our MVC application, we used spire pdf successfully but currently, I am using .Net core 5.0 and I have downloaded a version(7.8.9) of dll and using this dll I am trying to generate PDF from html. But getting below error.
1. The type or namespace name 'PdfHtmlLayoutFormat' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
2. CS1061 'PdfDocument' does not contain a definition for 'LoadFromHTML' and no accessible extension method 'LoadFromHTML' accepting a first argument of type 'PdfDocument' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Can you please guide me?

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry!

First, the "PdfHtmlLayoutFormat" class need to import Spire.Pdf.HtmlConverter namespace. Please add "using Spire.Pdf.HtmlConverter;" in your using imports.

For the second issue. Our LoadFromHTML method does not have a first argument of type 'PdfDocument', as the following screenshot shows, you need to pass a string which include HTML code or your HTML URL as the first argument. Hope you can understand.

Hi,

I am trying to use the Convert an HTML String to PDF Without Plugin feature in .Net 6
However, I am having the same issue where the PdfHtmlLayoutFormat is not recognised, even with the import of Spire.Pdf.HtmlConverter namespace.
PdfDocument.LoadFromHTML() is also not available to call.
The version I am using is 8.11.2
Any guidance would be appreciated.
