Hi Myriam
What is your environment? Is this a WinForm or WebForm application?
Is ANY part of your external CSS working? Colour, Size etc?

Thank you so much for your answer. I really appreciate the help. Unfortunately
it is not working for me.
I attached my modified class to the mail. I think I have tried all possible
paths both in my class and in my HTML file ^^
Could it have something to do that I am not using a server but two files on my
computer?
What path(relative/absolute) did you put in your HTML file? I am using Windows
: maybe something wrong with the path to adopt
(C:\...\,C:\\...\\...,file:///C:/...., or a normal Unix path /Users/...) Maybe
some wrong attributes in the link tag(I am using just the supported ones: type
and href)?
/Myriam
ps: Good tip for the CSS fonts!

Hi Myriam
It looks like you're not telling XMLworker about your external CSS file.
Here is my working code, in VB...
Protected Sub AddHTML(ByVal HTMLContent As String)
Dim HtmlContext As HtmlPipelineContext = New HtmlPipelineContext
HtmlContext.SetTagFactory(iTextSharp.tool.xml.html.Tags.GetHtmlTagProcessorFactory)
Dim CSSResolver As ICSSResolver =
XMLWorkerHelper.GetInstance().GetDefaultCssResolver(True)
'--- The location of the external CSS file
Dim BCMiCss As String =
HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/App_Obout/HTMLEditor/CSS/BCMiQuickFormat.css")
'--- Add the external CSS file
CSSResolver.AddCssFile(BCMiCss, True)
Dim Pipeline As IPipeline = New CssResolverPipeline(CSSResolver, New
HtmlPipeline(HtmlContext, New PdfWriterPipeline(Document, PDFWriter)))
Dim Worker As XMLWorker = New XMLWorker(Pipeline, True)
Dim Parser As XMLParser = New XMLParser(True, Worker)
Parser.Parse(New StringReader(HTMLContent))
Parser.Flush()
End Sub
Also, just as something else to be aware of, if you create your CSS in Visual
Studio and any of your font names have more than one word and are enclosed in
quotes, such as
body
{
font-family: 'Century Gothic';
font-size: 10pt;
color: #000000;
}
XMLWorker will NOT render this font. You'll need to remove the quotes, such as
body
{
font-family: Century Gothic;
font-size: 10pt;
color: #000000;
}
And XMLWorker will render the font correctly.
Cheers
Dean

Subject: [iText-questions] XMLWorker : HTML to PDF problem with external css
Hi,
For a project I have to parse an HTML page into a pdf using XMLWorker and I am
encountering a problem since my external css file is not taken into
consideration.
I had no problem parsing a simple HTML file, an HTML file with CSS in the tags,
HTML file with CSS in the <head> but the external CSS file is not working.
I am using Visual studio to develop in C# and both my files (HTML and CSS) are
included in the project and are located in the same folder as the other files
of the project so they should find each other easily....or?:)
I attached my files to this mail.
I thank you in advance for any hints you could gave me. I spent already 2 days
browsing the documentation and internet to find similar issues but in their
example they all put CSS in the <head> tag.
Have a nice day
Myriam
