Question

I am trying to generate a PDF using HTML template.

i am having trouble in parsing the html generated.
here is my code

 using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Documents/EmailTemplates/test.pdf"), FileMode.Create))
        {
            PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, fs);
            using (StringReader stringReader = new StringReader(contents))
            {
                List<iTextSharp.text.IElement> parsedList = HTMLWorker.ParseToList(stringReader, null);
                document.Open();
                foreach (object item in parsedList)
                {
                    document.Add((IElement)item);
                }
                document.Close();
            }
        }

i get error at HTMLWorker.ParseToList(stringReader, null);
shows null reference, but stringReader has content needed

Answer 1

Please check the iTextSharp version HTMLWorker.ParseToList() doesnt work properly in latest version, if you are using the latest version, delete it and add new reference to v1.x that will fix your problem
