[itextsharp-questions] Text is superimposed on image by default when converting html using HTMLWorker

[tommyp]

Hi everyone,
I'm having a really annoying problem converting html to pdf. I'm using
HTMLWorker and no stylesheet, trying to convert a rather simple html page
with images.
My problem is, that the text on the page is superimposed on the images, as
if the images were background images, or underlying.
I am not changing any attributes etc. during my HTMLWorker processing, and
the alignment attribute is 0.

Any ideas about what could be the problem - any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks

Tommy

Try using this one....
document.SetMargins(40, 50, 25, 30)
dim tempPath as string= Some path
dim strPDFpath = Server.MapPath("~/PDFS/TempPDFS/") & tempPath
Dim styles As New
iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.StyleSheet()
'styles.LoadTagStyle("ol", "leading", "16,0")
Dim fs As New FileStream(strPDFpath,
FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write)
PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, fs)
Dim path As String =
Server.MapPath("~/App_Themes/MainTheme/")
path = path & "main.css"
document.Add(New
Header(iTextSharp.text.html.Markup.HTML_ATTR_STYLESHEET, path))

Dim objects As ArrayList

styles.LoadTagStyle("li", "face", "garamond")
styles.LoadTagStyle("span", "size", "8px")
styles.LoadTagStyle("body", "font-family", "times
new roman")
styles.LoadTagStyle("body", "font-size", "10px")
'styles.LoadTagStyle("HR", "page-break-after",
"always")
document.Open()

document.NewPage()
'Add footer
Dim footer As New HeaderFooter(New Phrase(" "),
False)
footer.Border = 0
footer.Alignment =
iTextSharp.text.Element.ALIGN_CENTER
document.Footer = footer

'Dim headerPhrase As New Phrase("-")
'Dim header As New HeaderFooter(headerPhrase,
False)
'header.Border =
iTextSharp.text.Rectangle.NO_BORDER
'header.Alignment =
iTextSharp.text.Element.ALIGN_LEFT
'header.BackgroundColor =
iTextSharp.text.Color.WHITE
'document.Header = header

'doc.Add(headerPhrase)
'objects=itextsharp.text .html .simpleparser
.HTMLWorker .
objects =
iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.HTMLWorkerExtended.ParseToList(New
StreamReader(strHTMLpath, Encoding.[Default]), styles)

For k As Integer = 0 To objects.Count - 1
document.Add(DirectCast(objects(k), IElement))
Next
document.Close()

path = path & "main.css"
document.Add(New
Header(iTextSharp.text.html.Markup.HTML_ATTR_STYLESHEET, path))

Dim objects As ArrayList

styles.LoadTagStyle("li", "face", "garamond")

document.NewPage()
'Add footer

document.Footer = footer

'Dim headerPhrase As New Phrase("-")

Thanks for your answer.
However, had some problems working out exactly what would make your solution
fix my problems.
Now I found that when the img-tag is lacking the align attribute I get the
problems - when I add the align attribute I do not have the problem.
Now, using my CMS we normally do not use align's and try to position
everything using css stylesheets instead.
Any ideas about how to handle this? I'm thinking some css-tricks forcing
iTextSharp to react like if an align were present, or maybe some special
handling in the HTMLWorker processing?
