iTextSharp: problems with relative paths during conversion of html to pdf (HTMLWorker)Hi, I am looking into using iTextSharp in the
CMS system I use, creating a pdf of part of the content. My problem is, that HTMLWorker.ParseToList
seems to choke on relative image source-paths during
conversion of html to pdf (resulting in an empty pdf-document). Is this a known issue, and does anyone have
a nice solution to it? Regards >Tommy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Re: iTextSharp: problems with relative paths during conversion of html to pdf (HTMLWorker)I had the same problem. iTextSharp is trying load the images using absolute paths. So if you only provide it a relative, it will try to resolve it the best way it knows how by appending an absolute file system path to it. The problem is that the path it appends usually doesn't contain the file you are looking for. There are two solutions to the problem:
1. Provide a fully qualified URL to the image. For Example: http://www.mysite.com/images/image.jpg 2. With .NET, you can use Server.MapPath("~/images/image.jpg"). This will get an absolute path to the image on the file system. I handled this by creating a method that parsed all images from my HTML and added the appropriate domain information to image links based on the current application path.

Re: iTextSharp: problems with relative paths during conversion of html to pdf (HTMLWorker)There a number of interfaces to resolve the image location (not really well documented). See the following snippet of HTMLWorker:
if (interfaceProps != null) { IImageProvider ip = (IImageProvider)interfaceProps["img_provider"]; if (ip != null) img = ip.GetImage(src, h, cprops, document); if (img == null) { Hashtable images = (Hashtable)interfaceProps["img_static"]; if (images != null) { Image tim = (Image)images[src]; if (tim != null) img = Image.GetInstance(tim); } else { if (!src.StartsWith("http")) { // relative src references only String baseurl = (String)interfaceProps["img_baseurl"]; if (baseurl != null) { src = baseurl + src; img = Image.GetInstance(src); } } } } } Paulo > -----Original Message----- > From: Jay80 [mailto:stewart.jms@...] > Sent: Thursday, September 03, 2009 4:13 PM > To: itextsharp-questions@... > Subject: Re: [itextsharp-questions] iTextSharp: problems with > relative paths during conversion of html to pdf (HTMLWorker) > > > I had the same problem. iTextSharp is trying load the images > using absolute > paths.
