We are using ABCPDF.Net version 5 to create a PDF file from HTML. However, the links are not live except for those that appear as URLs in the HTML even when HtmlOptions.AddLinks is set to true. In fact, when it's set to true, the links render with a brown background not present when it's set to false. Here is the code we use to create the PDF (vb.net):
Dim oFile As Stream = New MemoryStream()
Dim objPDFInvoice As Doc = New Doc
With objPDFInvoice
Dim w As Double = .MediaBox.Width
Dim h As Double = .MediaBox.Height
Dim l As Double = .MediaBox.Left
Dim b As Double = .MediaBox.Bottom
.Rect.Left += 15
.Rect.Bottom += 15
.Rect.Width -= 15
.Rect.Height -= 15
.HtmlOptions.AddLinks = True
Dim theID As Integer = .AddImageUrl("file://" & sFileName, True, 800, True)
While True
If Not .Chainable(theID) Then
Exit While
End If
.Page = .AddPage()
theID = .AddImageToChain(theID)
End While
For iPage As Integer = 1 To .PageCount
.PageNumber = iPage
.Flatten()
Next
If .PageCount > 0 Then .Page = 1
.SetInfo(.Root, "/HtmlContent:Text", sBody.ToString)
.SetInfo(.Root, "/HtmlFilename:Text", "Certification" & ".pdf")
.Encryption.Type = 2
.Encryption.CanAssemble = False
.Encryption.CanChange = False
.Encryption.CanCopy = False
.Encryption.CanEdit = False
End With
objPDFInvoice.Save(oFile)
objPDFInvoice.Clear()
The oFile memory stream is then sent as an email attachment, but for testing I'm saving it to a file. Note that sBody is a string representation of the contents of the HTML file used in AddImageURL.
Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks in advance, Boris Zakharin
