have been trying to translate a C# code snippet I found
here<http://www.thiscouldbeuseful.com/2012/04/itextsharp-to-rescue-converting-html-to.html>
to
convert an html file to a PDF with itextsharp into powershell, but I'm
having some issues.
This is what I have so far:
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom("C:\itextsharp\itextsharp.dll")
#create doc object
$Doc = New-Object iTextSharp.text.Document
#set page size
$Doc.SetPageSize([iTextSharp.text.PageSize]::A4)
#Get html file
$Stream = [IO.File]::OpenWrite("C:\test\test.pdf")
#creat pdfwrite object
$Writer = [itextsharp.text.pdf.PdfWriter]::GetInstance($Doc, $Stream)
#open document
$Doc.Open()
#Define fonts
$TitleFont = [iTextSharp.text.FontFactory]::GetFont("Helvetica", 14,
[iTextSharp.text.Font]::BOLD, (New-Object iTextSharp.text.BaseColor
-ArgumentList @(0, 179, 212)))
$TextFont = [iTextSharp.text.FontFactory]::GetFont("Helvetica", 9,
[iTextSharp.text.Font]::NORMAL, [iTextSharp.text.BaseColor]::BLACK)
#create a paragraph and add it to the document
$Title = New-Object iTextSharp.text.Paragraph -ArgumentList @(,"This
is the title?")
$Title.Font = $TitleFont
$Title.IndentationLeft = 0x50f#Add title paragraph to doc object
$doc.Add($Title)
#add line below title#$LineSeparator = New-Object iTextSharp.text.???
#read in html file
$htmlfile = "C:\test\test.html"
$HTMLText = [IO.File]::ReadAllText($htmlfile)
#create a new generic list to hold parsed html data
$HTMLElements = New-Object 'System.Collections.Generic.List[string]'
$HTMLElements =
[iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.HTMLWorker]::ParseToList((new-Object
System.IO.StringReader($HTMLText)),$null)
The problem now is that I don't think $HTMLElements =
[iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.HTMLWorker]::ParseToList((new-Object
System.IO.StringReader($HTMLText)),$null) is doing what I want it to.
After doing this if I look at $HTMLElements.Count it returns only 2, but
looking at the C# code snippet it looks like it should contain every line
of the html document as I am supposed to loop through it and cast each item
as an [iTextSharp.text.IElement]
Ideally I'd like to do this without having to use add-type to compile
actual C# code.
Any help much appreciated!
