Relorer.QuestPDF.HTML is an extension for QuestPDF that allows to generate PDF from HTML
QuestPDF currently does not support inserting html into a pdf document. So I wrote a small library for this. It doesn't support the full functionality of html and css, but I think it should be enough for most cases.
Dependencies
- QuestPDF
- HtmlAgilityPack is used for html parsing
Usage
The simplest example of use:
Document.Create(container =>
{
container.Page(page =>
{
page.Content().Column(col =>
{
col.Item().HTML(handler =>
{
handler.SetHtml(html);
});
});
});
}).GeneratePdf(path);
I strongly recommend overloading the image upload method, because the outdated WebClient is used by default without using asynchronous. To do this, you can use the OverloadImgReceivingFunc:
col.Item().HTML(handler =>
{
handler.OverloadImgReceivingFunc(GetImgBySrc);
handler.SetHtml(html);
});
You can customize the styles of text and containers for tags:
handler.SetTextStyleForHtmlElement("div", TextStyle.Default.FontColor(Colors.Grey.Medium));
handler.SetTextStyleForHtmlElement("h1", TextStyle.Default.FontColor(Colors.DeepOrange.Accent4).FontSize(32).Bold());
handler.SetContainerStyleForHtmlElement("table", c => c.Background(Colors.Pink.Lighten5));
handler.SetContainerStyleForHtmlElement("ul", c => c.PaddingVertical(10));
You can set the vertical padding size for lists. This padding will not apply to sub-lists:
handler.SetListVerticalPadding(40);
You can use HTMLToQPDF.Example to try out the capabilities of this extension.
