Hi gert,

Thank you for reaching out to Syncfusion support.

 

We can perform HTML to PDF conversion in .net core 6 on Mac and Windows by installing the nuget packages for Windows and Mac parallely in the same project as highlighted in the below screenshot.  

We have attached our UG Documentation to perform HTML to PDF conversion and sample for your reference.

Perfect, that make a lot of sense. Thank you. This lead me to the next question. I am trying to use the html header and html footer option, with a supplied html body, but it would not render??? 

The component is throwing a weird exception? See sample code attached

Hi gert,

We have checked your issue on our end.  We are able to reproduce the reported issue.  We suspect that the reported issue may occur due to an excessively large header, leaving insufficient space for the body content on the PDF page.

 

We have two options to set the header and footer while converting the HTML to PDF document. Please refer to the details below.

Using the HtmlHeader & HtmlFooter:
We can add the header and footer by set the html string in this property. However, it is important to note that this property has certain limitations, such as its support only base64 strings for images and only allowing inline CSS styles.

 

Please refer the below documentation.

Using PdfHeader & PdfFooter:

We are converted the input html header to pdf document, after created the PdfPageTemplateElement and assign the element to PdfHeader and PdfFooter. It will preserve the Header and Footer in the same way as the input HTML/URL is displayed in Chromium-based web browsers such as Chrome and print preview. Our converter replicates this same behavior.

Hi,

thank you very much. I did not think about this approach. I will try a few more options on the spacing and sizing of the header and footer to get in more in proportion with each other etc.
