Define Custom URI Links in HTML

EVO PDF Client for .NET Documentation

EVO HTML to PDF Converter allows you to transform any HTML element to an URI link in PDF by setting the data-link-enabled and data-link_href attributes on HTML element. With data-link-enabled attribute you can also disable the automatic conversion of a HTML URI link to a PDF link when you set this attribute to false.

Code Sample - Define Custom URI Links in HTML

Copy

protected void convertToPdf()
{
    // Get the server IP and port
    String serverIP = textBoxServerIP.Text;
    uint serverPort = uint.Parse(textBoxServerPort.Text);

    // Create a HTML to PDF converter object
    HtmlToPdfConverter htmlToPdfConverter = null;
    if (radioButtonUseTcpService.Checked)
        htmlToPdfConverter = new HtmlToPdfConverter(serverIP, serverPort);
    else
        htmlToPdfConverter = new HtmlToPdfConverter(true, textBoxWebServiceUrl.Text);

    // Set optional service password
    if (textBoxServicePassword.Text.Length > 0)
        htmlToPdfConverter.ServicePassword = textBoxServicePassword.Text;

    // Set license key received after purchase to use the converter in licensed mode
    // Leave it not set to use the converter in demo mode
    htmlToPdfConverter.LicenseKey = "4W9+bn19bn5ue2B+bn1/YH98YHd3d3c=";

    // Set an adddional delay in seconds to wait for JavaScript or AJAX calls after page load completed
    // Set this property to 0 if you don't need to wait for such asynchcronous operations to finish
    htmlToPdfConverter.ConversionDelay = 2;

    byte[] outPdfBuffer = null;

    if (convertHtmlRadioButton.Checked)
    {
        string htmlWithInternalLinksAttributes = htmlStringTextBox.Text;
        string baseUrl = baseUrlTextBox.Text;

        // Convert a HTML string with URI links to a PDF document in a memory buffer
        outPdfBuffer = htmlToPdfConverter.ConvertHtml(htmlWithInternalLinksAttributes, baseUrl);
    }
    else
    {
        string url = urlTextBox.Text;

        // Convert a HTML page with URI links to a PDF document in a memory buffer
        outPdfBuffer = htmlToPdfConverter.ConvertUrl(url);
    }
}
