Out of memory exception

[alexandis]

I am trying to output quite a small html. Anyway - it's output ok in html format. When trying MvcRazorToPdf - I am getting "Out of memory exception", here is the stack trace:

Never worked with iTextSharp, don't have idea where to look at.

These issues are related to css. It appears, that css support is quite poor here. It does not understand some tags / cannot calculate some values, throws exceptions and then somehow it causes overflow.

Hi Alexandis, sorry but I am really short on time at the moment and have been struggling to keep up with my github issues. I usually find debugging the razor by taking out elements one at a time helps me figure out the problem html element. I also paste the raw html into the demo on itext site because if that fails then the translation will fail within my package. http://demo.itextsupport.com/xmlworker/

I think you need to set the image provider, info here:

Hi Alexandis, Yes, that makes sense.

You need to provide an image provider which basically defines the root of your web site.

This is the info you need here:

Maybe the hint for you. The inner exception i discovered is "'iTextSharp.tool.xml.pipeline.html.NoImageProviderException" — Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub.

Hi, Andy, thanks for reply. The matter is I don't use images at all, so the exception surprised me :) Currently I sticked to simplifying my css at maximum to avoid problems (lack of time in the project). But if they say to beautify output - I will take a careful look at your links. Thanks for your work!

[andyhutch77]

It could be related to another provider, image or resource.

Are you trying to resolve against a relative path?

No, it was a css, referenced via absolute url and no any urls inside... But it's not a problem now, I have simplified css. The problem now is that despite the fact css is very easy - PDF "understand" only a little part of it. I am lack of time seriously, but would like to look it more or less fitting the rest of design.

Text alignment in the table is ignored, header and cell colors are ignored, cell paddings are ignored, too. What do i do? Should i use inline styles??

[andyhutch77]

I use css in the header, first I check that it formats in the itext demo.

That way I know it works beforehand.

It is possible to use a different renderer, I think there are other html to pdf convertors but it could be quite time consuming.

I gave up and put everything as inline style, because including css directly into header did not help. Now everything looks more or less ok, but font size is uncontrolled :( I tried different units, but no matter. So my font is displayed bigger than required by default and some layout is broken because of it... How do you manage to make font size work?

[andyhutch77]

Font sizes are controlled via css.
