HTML to PDF

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Can anyone tell me if I have a program that reads the text from an HTML file, If there is any way at all to use QuickPDF (I am on 8.16) to convert the HTML to a PDF... heres the catch. I want to specify a "pagesize" like "letter" then I want the function to automatically create enough pages in the PDF to render all of the HTML in porportion. I see the DrawHTML() method but if the rendered HTML is so long it takes 10 pages to draw it all then how do I handle that? 
If there is no simple one call method to do this is there some work-a-round?

Thanks Wayne

	Wayne, This code might be useful QP.NewDocument(); QP.SetOrigin(1); string s = File.ReadAllText("input.html"); QP.DrawBox(10, 10, 300, 500, 0); string overflow = QP.DrawHTMLTextBox(10, 10, 300, 500, s); while (overflow != "") { QP.NewPage(); QP.DrawBox(10, 10, 300, 500, 0); overflow = QP.DrawHTMLTextBox(10, 10, 300, 500, overflow); } QP.SaveToFile("out.pdf");
